transfers that are nowhere near the best ones available Which transfers would you recommend for rare mid-30's Ellington (Steppin into Swing Society, et al)? I only had those sides on Chronological Classics before and this box set is a drastic improvement in sound quality. 'Steppin into Swing Societ...

His later material is more jump. I have the Apollo/Delmark material and most of it is jump.anton wrote:It is variously titled 'Rigamarole', 'Rigamorole', 'Rigmarole' and 'Rigomorole' if you are looking for more versions.
BTW, has anybody heard the Willie Bryant tracks from 1938-1949? Are they any good?

Records are different from CDs even though both are physical objects. CDs are still digital sound whereas LPs use a physical process to recreate the sound. The argument over the difference between analog and digital sound will probably continue as long as needles are still available. I don't really ...

Re: 1948 - low point for swing
I've been preparing a chronological DJ set when I noticed this. There seem to be very few good tracks from 1948. A jumpy track by Wynonie Harris and two so-so tracks by Erskine Hawkins and that's about it. Do you have any good tracks from 1948? 1948 seems to be rather heavy on jump blues and proto-...

How good is this, really? It just seems like a lot of vintage Jazz men who were doing studio work in NYC got together for a recreation. Is there something that makes this one better than so many others of its kind? What are some good examples of the others? One I know of is the Fletcher Henderson R...

Re: Calming a crazy floor
I wonder if a DJ can control a crazy floor by the music played or in some other way, preferably without losing that vital 'energy'? How would you approach this? If you create a modulated standing wave through the judicious use harmonic couplets, you can modulate the oscillations of the dancers and ...
