Since when do you DJ from a laptop?

Probably becuase no one actually gets excited about it anymore.

By the way Keith... ever thought of doing a live recording of Duke's Band at Lindy Gras? Something to think about. I talked to Duke and Evan about it last year and they said they had never recorded a live album. They sounded interested. I for one would by a copy of that in a heartbeat.

I actually got a request for "Wade in the Water" AND "Fever" at the same time the other night.

Central Ave Breakdown was my guess after listening to it last night. Anyone actually have the All-Stars album to confirm?

Maybe y'all are thinkin' of the Mel and Chance routine.

Anyone ever come across a good medium tempo, non-vocal version of Mood Indigo? I'm especially interested to find out if there are any New Orleans style versions in this vein.

Yes. As I've noted several times on this board, the Centennial Edition remasters are MUCH better than the Blanton-Webster original release. The Centennial Edition sounds as if it came from a completely different recording session ten years later. The Dreyfus reissues about which you asked Greg seve...

So I now own both the cenetennial remastered (which I had already) and original CD release versions of the Blanton-Webster set, all thanks to a cheap deal on Ebay, and my perverse need to see which one has better sound quality.


How's that for overlap?
