SwingDJs

Mike, are you really that narrow minded, or are you just being a prick for the sake of being a prick? Uhm, where am i being a prick. I am stating my opinion. It seems quite rude of you do go around throwing insults. Explain to me your reasoning why gene harris playing "Dont Get Around Much Any...

you mean the song off of an album that is an entire tribute to ellington where the artists made an effort to recreate ellingotns band during its peak years? Gene Harris playing Dont get a round much anymore is no more a tribute than (as someone said) Willie Nelson playing it. To draw a comparison, ...

it would of been nice if more of the DJs viewed the battle as a tribute to the artists from Harlem that brought us some of the best, hardest swinging music ever recorded. Yeah, and what was with Reuben playing an LCJO song from 1999??? What kind of lame-ass tribute to Harlem is that??? And the Elli...

You still owe me a drink!!! LOL

Glad you liked Junior. Same goes with the battle on Fri night re: the setting. It's a bummer we couldn't get the Alhambra...would have been much more room to dance.

it would of been nice if more of the DJs viewed the battle as a tribute to the artists from Harlem that brought us some of the best, hardest swinging music ever recorded. You're right, I don't know what they were thinking. I mean it's not like "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" is a tribute ...

But I also would not go in with my normal collection because of the 5-6 song limit and other restrictions, so I'd prepare an aresnal compilation of 30 songs that could fit the mood or re-set it if necessary. That would indeed be a good idea. Especially since (as I posted in the other thread, too), ...

Twist my arm!

I don't know about you, but when I think of Harlem and dancing, I think of Frankie Manning. Isn't his favorite song Basie's Shiny Stockings? I also think of Allan Harris, one of Harlem's current great vocalists. I hope Rayned plays his version of "Just a Sittin and a Rockin'"!

The other interesting thing about the schedule is that the Harlem night tour (i.e. bar hopping) starts at 9 on Sat. and the Battle of The DJ's starts at 10......coincidence? I think not... Please excuse my ignorance; I'm really confused by this comment. Should the Harlem night tour be during the da...

I think it's going to be pure luck. 15 minutes & strict guidelines gets rid of most of the participants individuality, if you ask me. Do you call the below "strict guidelines"? If you do, then it looks like you need to expand your collection. I've kept specific track lately, and every...

Just curious what the "grapevine" is. Janice? Nicole? If we're gonna get all in a hussy over grapevine, then... ...I heard through the grapevine that Rueben and Swingboy are secret lovers. LOL I also heard the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale. At the end of the evening, whoever ends up "wi...

Spuds, where are you!? I love Erroll...he always sounds so happy! "That's My Kick and Gemini" and "Body and Soul" are both great cds for listening and DJing. And Rayned, don't forget Just the Way You Look Tonight from "Body and Soul" Also, the whole "Concert by the...

You know all this huggy kissy crap is what's giving this evening the potential to suck. I think Janice has invisioned an spirit of competition between the DJs for this night... and so far I'm feeling none. So I guess we'll just see another night of music to appease the masses. I dunno about you, bu...

solid mix of DJ's, but it's incomplete, and one who is not even a DJ, that would be My Buddy Peter Strom who will most likely be using borrowed CD's, I hope he wins...hehehe To my knowledge Peter Strom is not in the battle. Here's a list of DJs in the battle: Jesse Miner, California Manu Smith, New...
