Fast Song Recommendations
Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 8:26 pm
I'm choosing some Lindy competition music, and I'm looking for good tracks around the 300bpm zone that haven't been used too much before. I'd prefer it to be old-school (pre-1950), big band, competition-friendly, anthemic, and available in decent audio quality (that's not too much to ask, surely!
)
Suggestions!?
Some examples of the kind of thing used in the past for this comp:
I've Found a New Baby - Benny Goodman & His Orchestra - 279bpm
Yeah Man - Count Basie & His Orchestra - 291bpm
Harlem Congo - Chick Webb & His Orchestra - 300bpm
Jitters - Lucky Millinder & His Orchestra - 304bpm
Currently considering:
Casa Loma Stomp - Casa Loma Orchestra - 296bpm
XYZ - Earl Hines & His Orchestra - 299bpm
White Heat - Jimmie Lunceford & His Orchestra (1939) - 320bm
