Here's the rule folks: You can DJ it once, but then that's it

I just wanted to post a note that I got my first Bear Family set this week - The Nellie Lutcher & Her Rhythm 4CD Box. As noted above it has a high density of fine dance tunes - most at a relaxed tempo. It does go a bit into novelty territory, but I think I'll be able to use it quite a bit for my...

I agree with the "The World of Swing" recommendation and would add;

The Swing Era by Gunther Schuller. This book is fantastic and really helped with my understanding.

You can pay for improved service (better sound, no ads). Competing services are Pandora , Rdio , LastFM , Goo...

I dislike his ideas about adding stereo to old recordings – but that was a cool video and a sad story (if indeed the collection was disposed of rather than sold off).

There must be a lot of films that get made as passion projects with limited audiences and then archived away. I'm also thinking about that Buddy Bolden movie. It was filmed a few years ago with a notable cast and music by Wynton Marsalis, but was never released (as of 2014 anyway). Edit: So the Bold...
