Agreed with Brenda and Kalman. I love the Noble Sissle stuff I have, but it's all on Bechet and other comps.

My fave would be "As long as I'm moving."

This is true. It's why a cover band doesn't have to pay royalties, but the bar that hosts the cover band does.

Hey, Roy... what's your take on that disc? I only have a few Luis Russell tracks on compilations, and I'm looking to buy more.

Just a quick update on ABW 2004... with DJ relevance. The DJ line up for the event is: Nick Williams (Cali) Kyle Smith (Cali) Doug Elerath (AZ) and myself (Seattle by way of Atlanta) We'll be spinning all night Thursday and Sunday and supplementing the Boilermakers Jazz Band and the Mike Petrone Tri...

I always knew Basie was ahead of his time, but I have a hard time believe he actually died in the future.

Perhaps simultaneously, what Jo Jones (and others) did that was so important was remove the 4/4 kick drum pattern that was nearly completely pervasive previously. And by the way, when I say "important" here, I mean in historical terms. Not that I necessarily favor it. Personal, I play dru...

At least two factors for us to consider with regard to hi-hat usage. Cymbal technology (ie. different kinds of cymbals being available) and recording techonology. One: In early hot jazz, it seems, anecdotally though my exploration of pictures of drummers from the time and close listening to recordin...

Being sick of "groove music" is sooooooooo fall 2002.

In some basketball circles, "jank" means to make a nasty move on someone (ie. big throw down dunk, break their ankles running past them, etc.)

so we have 4 Dj's from Seattle who play clarinet (if we include Travis) - I think we should work up something for the exchange just for laughs - Gary and Joon can play behind us - 4 clarinets and 2 drums..... Sounds good, as long as we name it the "Train Wreck Stompers" or maybe "Joo...

Gary and I are Dj'ing together end of the month at the Century --- I'm looking forward to it becuase I think Gary can throw us some surprises --- perhaps some Mound City Blue Blowers? You got it! And next time we see each other, we should talk about how you want to split the night.... I have a favo...

The question is.... "new" to whom? I've been living here in Seattle for a few months now, and I've somewhat resisted DJing a lot because I'm still figuring out what moves people, as well as what people are familiar with. In general it seems one can get away with playing less well known stu...

As Brenda said, i play drums. I also play upright bass and guitar, and I'm learning tenor banjo right now. I really hope to put together a hot jazz group here in Seattle once I get settled into a house and job and such. I'd like to do something like Henderson's Dixie Stompers or even some Jelly Roll...
