That's the same reason I said "Often." I know some people (Harrison being one visible example) who won't dance a song they don't like, but it seems that the majority of dancers I see dance despite not liking the song. However, there has to be some sort of scale to not liking a song: Just d...

Sidney Bechet one rocks hard. I haven't heard these others.

The version I have is off of a disconforme set (Complete 1939-1951 Blue Note Master Takes), which I'm guessing is pulled from Runnin' Wild.

DC seems to be doing just fine. can dance every night of the week. Have a couple of new venues in the last 6months spring up with a couple more coming. Perhaps it's a little larger rather than about the same, but I did about the same.

I have it, and the sound quality seems to be very good. I recently got the No Lament set (and I had previously damaged and destroyed my Blanton-Webster CD set), and I'd say the disconforme 4-CD set is almost as good as, if not as good as, the No Lament set. The liner notes provide a nice detail of i...
