I guess the question can be broken down into a few more to follow on from what others have said: Does New Testament Basie have a swung rhythm? Most of it does, though I feel it doesn't swing as much as Old Testament Basie. Is it good music to swing dance to? Again, most of it is ok to dance to but I...

DJ Shuffle: I am a swing DJ. d...

Wow this thread's gotten complicated. I've been doing some workshops this weekend with some out of town teachers (well out of the county in fact) and it dawned on me: How do you tell when you're really playing the right stuff for classes? The same way when you're dj'ing an event - people come up to ...

I actually got these headphones before DJ'ing perked my interest. My opinion is, if you love your music you need a good pair of headphones. Headphones should be portable so they should be able to stand up to a little bit of roughish treatment but if you mistreat them, obviously they ain't going to l...

I'm not suprised you haven't heard of most of those songs. No swing DJ who has even half a brain would dare play most of them (apart from that damn shim sham song - which I have decided to boycott. I will now only shim sham to another of the shim sham songs). The people who play that sort of music f...
