SwingDJs

it's not to me. i think i paid $15 for copy #1939/5000 (they're hand numbered) in NM off of ebay. Mosaic has built "collector mania" into their LP releases by virtue of limiting the number of copies. it's really only worth that to collectors. _d

oh yeah, make a demo CD as well. a lot of places expect it, and it may help get the idea across to people that are hesitant about hiring you. _d

I haven't read the forum in awhile, so that's why I'm so late in responding to this topic. But, hopefully my reply will still be relevant. I had been to a Martini Bar (swanky place) in Seattle to watch my friend's jazz band on Sundays. They have a really great DJ who mixes Jazz records (from Big Ban...

"3" Big 18 albums? boogie woogie? tell me about it! Yeah, I'm pumped to hear it myself. I just ordered it, and it should be here by the end of the week. Apparently it's a 3 LP English reissue that includes the original Echoes and More Echoes and a third album that i'd never heard of calle...

I won't tell you about this little invention called ebay then.

Between you people telling me about great CD's all the time and the used CD shop open til midnight just one block from my house, I'll be out of money in no time. But I'll have a great collection.

I downloaded Shake 'em up! a while back. I haven't gone through it completely, but I've played "I wish I could Shimmy like my sister Kate" and it went over well.

I also love "Blues Improvisation" off of Up A Lazy River

BTW, I've made a template in Word and just fill things in, but I'm always woefully behind in the labeling. Music match allows you to print a label, but the only info is tittle, artist and time. I spend bajillions of hours putting my BPM, Genre, Preference, Tempo, Mood and Situation listings in Musi...
