SwingDJs: The Band
Someone said if we love live music so much we should all start playing instruments. I think this would be HILARIOUS and really really fun. Its too bad we all live so far away.
So who would the bands be? Who plays what instruments?
I play guitar, bass and drums......all not great, but tell me what to do and i can do it!
Whos the bandleader? Whos playing trumpet, drums, sax, vocals?

upright bass here!
am i the only who loves swing songs where you can hear the the bass slap the neck the whole time?
like in bennie moten's lafayette or luis russell early 30's stuff...
i can play it if i owned one we had one in high school and i was on it all the time...and i've seriously been thinking of purchasing one for a while...
if i could pick up one instrument that i didn't know tho it would be trumpet hands down...

I think that's all they're called: Sticksyedancer wrote:I could play that instrument you used to play in elementary school that's just two sticks that you hit together.
I play african drums, which some groups have used for swing accompaniment around here. I've been looking for an excuse to play more recently, dancing is taking up too much time

As Brenda said, i play drums. I also play upright bass and guitar, and I'm learning tenor banjo right now.
I really hope to put together a hot jazz group here in Seattle once I get settled into a house and job and such. I'd like to do something like Henderson's Dixie Stompers or even some Jelly Roll Morton.

I've got perfect pitch, I think? (I can sing/whistle in tune.) No vibrato or tone...but I can hum our A/Bb.
I'd definitely take up practicing the violin regularly again if I could play jazz with other amateurs who like the music but are as rusty as I! I had a goal to get good by Binge, bring my fiddle, & hope there'd be some down time to jam w/ a band, but then Peter Vawter was there, and I still sucked, so I was glad I didn't.
