Hi!
Here in Buenos Aires, it was all about Rock And Roll, Boogie Woogie, and 50's R&B.
About 5 years ago, some of my friends and I started dancing Lindy Hop and playing swing music.
Now I'm running the first Lindy Hop night dance in Buenos Aires, where I'm the Dj.
Most of the people who comes to dance are used to listen R&B a lot and they are a little confused about the music I like to play.
At the same time, I love early jazz, so sometimes I play Jelly Roll Morton, King Oliver or maybe some new bands with a 30's sound, like Mora's Modern Rhythmist or Vince Giordano.
Now I'm trying with some Lucky Millinder, early Louis Jordan and a lot of jive, like Slim & Slam, Cab Calloway, Cats & The Fiddle or Fats Waller. I think that some moods are similar to R&B and is kinda working.
What do you think about it?
Need some help and opinions. Thanx
Juani.
