and my faorite:

The Last Jump

i thought we had a thread about them, but that might have only been email.

didn't someone say they were going to buy some? How do they look, are they as cool as they sound???

umm, yeah, but ummm, yeah. oops

so then is it just a marketing ploy?

isn't it just about length? 74 minutes vs 80 minutes?

standard cd length is 74minutes, but they can produce a cd that hold 80minutes, AND i read somewhere that you can actually squeeze out a few more minutes if you configure your burning software right, but im not sure about that one.

Tampico

is another one

not this again!


I really dont want to start up this argument of what is considered swing music, lindy hop music, etc.... Not to sound holyer than thou with that request, but I am a bit overloaded with all the discussion about that.


Eddie Condon- his music has rhythmic displacement

betty white as in Golden Girls Betty White????

Eddie Condon The Classic Sessions
Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey Swingin In Hollywood
Charlie Barnett Skyliner

personal favorites

I have found it hard to find Woody Herman stuff that I really like that isn't too long or too jazzy. and I still haven't found any Stan Kenton that I like. Any suggestions for Stan Kenton?

lots of great horns, and no bass solos I think that is one of the reasons why Hand Clappin is a great tune for a jam. Hard honkin' horn, and it doesnt stop. The tempo doesnt have to be fast, just solid. It also has to be a good song for people to naturally jam up to. The easiest one in LA is Rip it ...

yup yup

much better of a format.
