SwingDJs

I have a certain affinity for Fletcher's (as overplayed as it is), for nostalgic reasons...

There's a great Ralph Sutton version out there too!

So I've switched over to a nice, new shiny Macbook from my old PC laptop. Thing is, I love BPM studio; it's my preferred weapon of choice. I've tinkered around with DJ-1800 and I'm not sure I want to buy it just yet. I've done the whole Boot Camp thing and ran BPM studio on that partition of Windows...

I'm not sure of the exact break down, but I think Ellington's Main Stem has some odd phrase groupings. Sometimes the solos get 4 sets of 8, sometimes 5, sometimes 7. Funny I was thinking about that the other week. I was thrown back initially when I first heard the song; hearing those 6 sets of 8 fo...

Oooh, I second "Loose Like a Goose", love that song.

Hmmm, I've lately been listening to a lot of Louis Armstrong's stuff from that era (Mahogany Hall Stomp, Savoyager's Stomp, Symphonic Raps).

Can't wait to hear what you've got planned!

Eh, I agree on most points. But I figure a lot of these jazz festivals are a chance to hear bands that I normally don't get to hear (that's how I found out about TH7). I'm prepared to absorb the not-so-great bands that are liable to be at these events, which is why I usually only go for one day. If ...

really? since when? (on both counts.) not being facetious, either. genuinely curious. She hasn't done it in awhile, I think she's done a total of two times last year, but that's usually what she does (if she doesn't know the person). If you want to DJ you usually have to ask her a couple of times b...

The one I'm going to in a couple of weeks is the Dixieland Montery Jazz Bash (including Titan Hot 7 and 20 other bands, yay!). Great hot jazz music playing the entire weekend at several different locations. Not really much room in terms of dancing, but this is the kind of thing where I'd like to sit...

Carla does something similar here, she'll tryout a new DJ during extra hours dancing (usually about an extra 30-45 minutes after the actual end of the dance) and see if you've got the chops. If not, she won't get back to you. Seems to work, we have one DJ doing the whole night, but it does seem like...

Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Awesome! Between this and Solomon's new album I should be in for a treat this Christmas.

Thanks for the info guys.

Awesomeness! Can't wait to buy it... so are we looking at a double CD maybe based on that set list?

Does anyone know where I can get Phil Ogilvie's Rhythm Kings: Rhythm Club (is it even out yet?) online?

Man, I'm dying to hear those guys live...
