i need new suggestions. i keep looking at my collection and going "blah."
i need more instrumentals with definite bounce, more up-tempo post-war pieces and some more male vocals.
lately, i've been expanding my classic, pre-war selections but i'm still holding the bag on a lot of stuff.
just no rock 'n' roll, oh-so obvious west coast and no sappy neocrap.

This past month I am all about Dany Doriz' This One's for Basie, which I find bouncy and up-tempo but which some of the local dancers thought was "mellow", so your mileage may vary.mousethief wrote: i need more instrumentals with definite bounce, more up-tempo post-war pieces and some more male vocals.

Kalman,
You try disconforme - http://www.disconforme.ad/ ? I bought ~$200 from them and my collection felt instantly refreshed. Thanks a bunch for coming up to DC to DJ. I wish now I had kept you at Saturday late-night in addition to the afternoon set. Hope you had fun there, though, and made it to the airport alright.

I checked out disconforme, but unless I'm completely stupid, there's no track lists and no music samples, so how can I possibly evaluate the CDs? they look interesting...mark0tz wrote:Kalman,

since I don't know anything about your collection this is kind of shooting in the dark - but for male vocals - in the groove/swing I have been playing Curtis Stigers --- out of Boise, has the Gene Harris influence - sounds a little like Mose Allison. I like him quite a bit.mousethief wrote:i need more instrumentals with definite bounce, more up-tempo post-war pieces and some more male vocals.
For uptempo post-war modern male vocals you can't beat either of the Swing Session albums - lots of fun danceable stuff on there and I love listening to Pops sing.
Swing Session credited their main influence as Roy Milton and his Solid Senders --- the main west coast jump blues band from the '50s --- I also like playing them against Swing Session.
