Remixed swing music, A Lindy Hop Compilation
This CD, For Dancers Only: A Lindy Hop Compilation, contains two interesting songs:
1. Bag's Groove - The Red Holloway Quintet
2. For Dancers Only - The Clark Terry Spacemen
I thought that they where the originals so I bought the original CD:s where you find these songs:
1. Standing Room Only
2. Squeeze Me
The songs seem to be reasonably long (aprox. 4.20) on the "For Dancers Only: A Lindy Hop Compilation" CD, at least according to the corresponding iMix on iTunes, but on the original CDs the songs are much longer and consequently, less danceable, 8 minutes is a loooong time on the dance floor.
As far as I understand it, the songs have been remixed, is that correct? If so, how?
I should have bought the "For Dancers Only: A Lindy Hop Compilation" instead

Or Duke Ellington At Newport.Eyeball wrote:Where would we be without people to correct the mistakes of Jazzmen?
"Hooked On Lindy - 2007"
Or countless other projects in the jazz world. Post-recording manipulation has a LONG history in jazz recordings, long before us Lindy Hop DJs came along.
Manu did a great job with his editing on the "For Dancers Only" project. I was blown away by the results, especially how he handled "Boss Blues" and "Blue Mance". I'm jealous of his mad skillz.

Nahhhhhhhhh, it does have have a long history and you have picked the exception to the rule.
You be very hard pressed to find a history of 'Jazz manipulation' of any consequence.
Jazz had been left largely alone until it was able to be fiddled with...and even then...mist people keep their hands off.
But - there things are over at Columbia in the 1950s with the DE@NJF, as well as some of the Buck Clayton Jam Sessions.
The Ellington was largely a matter of need, rather than 'artistic producers' onj the loose.
The Buck Claytons? I only have had the original Columbia releases. Maybe the Mosaic boxes say something by George Avakian.

Will big bands ever come back?
