A band I discovered in a Jazz shop in London is 'Skeets Tolbert and His Gentlemen of Swing'
The 1931-1940 CD is excellent, and the sound quality is not bad -

You'll have to tell me how "Drummer goes to Town" is. I have yet to find it for a price i wanted to pay.Haydn wrote:Good stuff.

Just got it - I wouldn't really recommend it. The 'Swing is the Thing' CD seems to have better material and be better for dancing, from listening to the samples via allmusic. The sound quality on 'Drummer goes to Town' is very good though. And there are some lovely slow numbers like the jazzy blues 'Moonglow'.Allen wrote:You'll have to tell me how "Drummer goes to Town" is.

Just fallen in love with Benny Carter's 'Blue Interlude', track 25 on this CD set -

I love the slow lilting rhythm, and this is a number that's great for listening OR dancing.

Is this the tune you're talking about?Matthew wrote:"Shake That Jelly Roll" - J.C. Cobb & His Grains of Corn, from a CD called Chicago Black Small Bands
The solo in the break at 0:40 is mind-boggling and awesome!
I have the Chronological Classics 1940-1942. Fantastic stuff!Haydn wrote:A band I discovered in a Jazz shop in London is 'Skeets Tolbert and His Gentlemen of Swing'

When I played it last night two people came up to ask what it was.
I love this song. A Melbourne band called The Red Hot Rhythmakers do a really top notch version of it live.
I love the Red Hot Rhythmakers. We had them visit Munich last year, and they were awesome. I think they were sold out on one of their CDs after their Munich stop, despite having some more tour stops in Europe...dogpossum wrote: I love this song.

Right now I'm obsessed with the song 'Everybody does it now'. I first heard it on the latest Abigail Washburn ep.

Then I realised Martha Copeland's version is the best-known.
Then I found a Helen Humes version.
This really is my favourite sort of music. Now I need to learn more about Martha Copeland!
