I actually *did* play "Bugle Call Rag", and lots of people did dance to it (just not in a jam circle). I still don't know whether I misjudged the desire of most people in the room, or whether the applause and cheering drowning out the beginning of "Bugle Call Rag" caused enough ...

In addition to the Hines set, which is on its way to me at the moment... so far I'm pondering Coleman Hawkins, Lunceford, Goodman, and Armstrong.

Two female American singers who are still alive: Doris Day (sang with Les Brown in the 1940s) Recordings include Keep Cool, Fool, Broom Street, There's Good Blues Tonight, The Booglie Wooglie Piggy, Dig ...
