Tap adapted to bop. So did solo dancing. Partner dancing -- difficult. Depends, as always, on the particular song.

Re: Vinyl setups--playing, storing, etc.

Hahahahaha, that has one of the most pointless flash vids I've seen in a while.

But anyway, that's pretty rad, I'd be interested in knowing what speakers are in it, and how much of an angle it can be at and still play.

I think I listened to it at a local record shop and it had really crappy sound quality. The Label is Magic (UK), they seem to specialize in live recordings around the swing era. I haven't heard much from them, but what very little I have has sounded like they picked up recordings whose quality wasn...

Louis Armstrong and the Theory of Relativity Miles Davis once said, "You can't play nothing on trumpet that doesn't come from him, not even modern sh*t." This is true not only for trumpet players, but for everyone. The best players never copied Louis overtly, but were inspired by him to c...

I think DJs lately need to find a different horse to ride, too often I get the feeling that I missed the sign on the front door of the event/exchange that said "Slim Theme Night". That said, the dude rocks. It looks like a good number of your favorites are on his "The Best of" (V...
