But there are some songs - especially riff based pieces - where NOBODY can miss the 1 and the phrasing. Is this what you are looking for?? I have a list (at home, not with me now) of these I use to teach beginners. One example that I recall off hand is Gettin' in the Groove - played by Al Cooper &am...

Here's one that's been killing me lately. For those of you who like watching vintage clips for dancing - there's one of Leon James and Ali dancing (wearing plaid suits) to Cootie Williams and his orchestra. What the hell is the name of that song? It sounds like a fairly common song but I'll be damn...

Except that Balboa music is only a subset of the swing danceable music that most of djs on this list spin. First, to pass up what is in my opinion the best opportunity to learn a swing dance - any swing dance - when it is right in your own back yard is silly. The fact that there is an entire 9 clas...

<snip> In reading the forum and especially getting a clearer picture on the music the current generation of dancers enjoy, it actually is a bit dissapointing. There is so much more music in the swing style that the dancers just seem to ignore because it doesn't have the jump/shuffle rhythm of early...

1. - Yup. A foxtrotter. Wake me when it's over. Don't know the song. But it is too mellow. Sweet! 2. - Not bad, but at the extreme low end of tempos I might play.. In fact, I might use it. Sorta groovy, but ya. It's OK. Just slow. 3. - Same comment as 2. 4. - No way. And I am known as a generally up...

My total jazz collection contains significantly more than 10,000 but less than 15,000 songs from which I have chosen my play list. It includes everything from classic big band to b...
