"Retro Swing"
Hot Shots:
The
"new" craze that's shaking the nation's youth into swinging
again.
Just about any Up tempo Louis Jordan tune will work on this crowd
of dancers.
Just drop in a slow one now and then (about every fifth song)
to let the 'ol ticker return to a managable pace.
Many new bands are picking up on this money making group of dancers
who come out in droves 500+.
The kids (and
aging hipsters) are avoiding becoming their parents by becoming
their grandparents
( I love that line). Anyway, here's a half dozen of the tunes
I played at Midsummer Night Swing at Lincoln Center.
Big Mamou | Mighty Blues Kings | |
High Ballin' Daddy | Blues Jumpers | |
Work Baby Work | Royal Crown Revue | |
That's Where My Money Goes | Indigo Swing | |
Rockin' At Midnight | Honeydrippers | |
So Long | Indigo Swing | |
Medley: Swing It | Ray Gelato and the Giants of Jive |
