I've been asking the same question. I even emailed them with no results. By be I will just try againn. Brian I got the same non-respons, but there's a link on their website to a jazz station that has mp3 recordings of a show they did last New Year's. Good stuff. It includes interviews with members ...

Very cool. I've heard nothing but good things about Josh's playing, and I'm looking foward to hearing you guys in April.Campus Five wrote:Brooks is otherwise occupied, so Josh Collazo will be playing with us. To be honest, its a bit easier to use someone who knows the books so well he has it memorized.

I can say the same thing about drummers as well. Except there are only 2 of them in LA, and there are only 5 total (okay maybe six). Would you mind listing who would those people be either here or in a pm? I'm just curious because I can think of a couple names, but I'm not as familiar with people t...

I think the first choice is the way to go. The lindy hop community isn't so huge that it would be hard to dig up reviews from people you trust if you haven't heard prospective dj's yourself which I think is the the most ideal situation. Any schmoe can burn a compilation cd, tell you how many events ...

Because the bands that made the craze what it was were shitty-ass musicians, comparatively speaking. Sure, there was money, but you would have had to compromise your artistic integrity to make the music that the people wanted to hear. I stumbled onto this thread on Allaboutjazz.com. I think this qu...

I was trying to find out what year the Gap ad came out (1998 according to adweek.com) and I stumbled onto the following columnpublished in 1998 in The National Review of all places. http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n19_v50/ai_21191248 It has some interesting comments that made me t...

i'm not sure about the validity of the argument that starting slow and with vocals mean that the newbies will always dance slow. This is a topic that seems to be driven by anecdotal evidence and personal preference. but since we are using anecdotal evidence, one counter example would be the case of...

Cool modern band combo's
Some of you may have had the opportunity to hear The Boilermaker Jazz Band play with George Gee's Jump, Jive & Wailers in NYC, DC, or North Carolina. I can't speak for NYC or NC, but it was a great night of music in DC. It got me to thinking: what other combination of bands or personel currently...

I heard the Smithsonioan Jazz Masterworks Orchestra perform during the WWII Memorial festivities last year. Kinda disappointing actually. Incredible musicians. Some of them even play in various swing bands around DC. However, as an ensemble, they didn't seem very comfortable with the Swing Era mater...
