Second one is "Here we go Again" By Glenn Miller & The Army Air Force Band

How appropriate.

Two questions on the Ellington 1932-1940 set for those that have it. 1. Do Discs 2, 3, 6 and 7 give you a hard time getting them out of the cases or am I really inept at the technique of operating a CD case where there are prong-like things in the centre for keeping the CD in place? Maybe the set I ...

3. Count Basie - Hollywood Jump - Complete Columbia Recordings 1936-1941
6. Crytzer's Blue Rhythm Band - Chasin' The Blues
7. Boots & his Buddies - Rhythmic Rhapsody - Classics 1935-37

I really wish it was easier to get hold of Michael McQuaid's various works, with the Rhythmakers and the Late Hour Boys as well.

The mp3s look like they're back on the US amazon site now if you still want them.

Thanks for the tips! With regard to the Australian music, I know also of Michael Quaid's Red Hot Rhythmakers but don't seem like they are on amazon.co.uk. I would love to get some of their music. I stumbled on Hot Club Sandwich, though. Stompin' At Kaos on their Green Room album has got some promise...

I have about 40 British pounds remaining on a gift certificate bought for me and it expires on April 12, 2011, so about 6 weeks. I am really starved of inspiration as to what to get from the mp3 downloads from the amazon.co.uk site. Would fellow enthusiasts care to offer 'must have', 'killer DJ', 'f...

Can't give a conclusive answer to this, but the liner notes for the Hawkins 36-38 Classics CD says "Another speciality of the Hawkins Orchestra, accurate imitations of famous hits by other bands...."

Hahaha the copycatting gets worse! Barrelhouse (on the same 36-37 Classics CD as Bluff) uses the same riff as Jive At Five, recorded in '39. (Who's copying who - I'm getting muddled up myself here). Billy Kyle had just come in and replaced Edgar Hayes. He's credited as the arranger on the New York r...

Nice one. I'll take my commission via paypal...or

Grrr.. this is the one year I am not planning on a visit to Blighty.

Very best of luck for a great event!

The tempos are not even the same (don't need to measure with any tool - can hear quite easily). Whatever version the dance clip music is, it's definitely not the (slower) 4BEAT6 version. Not knocking 4BEAT6 though - lovely version in its own right! (and yeah Skye/Frida may have played with it themse...

Yeah I thought you might appreciate the collage

I'm going to be picky and suggest this should have gone in the "Other Music" forum, or, more properly, on a different site all together. The purpose of this forum is to discuss music for swing dancing, not just any music at all. If no dancing is involved, you're just asking in the wrong p...
