Eep. Just saw this.

Sorry we didn't have your personal CD collection to keep you entertained. Maybe instead of presenting their own scenes, exchange organizers should just ask for attendees to submit burns of their fave pieces.

I'm going to refer all my music choices to Frankie and let him tell me whether or not they swing. I've got a pretty broad view of what swings, but I draw the line at WCS, Shag, basically a lot of what gets played (out). Sure, that might swing another way, but it's another way and if I have jackhamme...

Hell, I love rockabilly, just not for Lindy. BR549 is my fave group, yo.

You know, every time Rayned pulls something like this out of the ether, it just kills me.

No, I had to be saved from JC. I'm betting a certain City by the Bay boy.

No one's mentioned Count Basie Big Band "Montreux '77?"

Great version of Splanky, though I still prefer the Sands version.

You know who - off all people - was working on a big Cab Calloway project with Cab's granddaughter? Vice Grip from the New Morty Show. Criminy. Last time I talked to him (4 years + ago), he was trying to put together a boxed set or something. I'll see if I can locate my original contact information ...

Cole's contribution to jazz and his achievements as a pianist have been overshadowed by his later fame as a solo vocalist. The early material, much of which is listed above, swings harder than most larger orchestras.

I also recommed The Billy May Sessions.

Groove Juice Special, Slim & Slam, 172 One Foot In The Groove, Artie Shaw, 172 In The Groove At The Grove, Chick Webb, 180 Keep It In The Groove, Andy Kirk, 182 Blues In The Groove, Jan Savitt, 190 Swingin' In The Groove, Coleman Hawkins, 314 ...oh how this joke will never get old. Reuben will ...

Same.

I have a number of Louis Prime selections. Depending on the mood, I have no qualms on working one in. My current fave is "Closer to the Bone" off of *wait for it* the Ultra Lounge collections.
