el> There's also a big swing scene here in Southern California, and it's
el> not just limited to the trendy types who go to The Derby and see the
el> Brian Setzer Orchestra.
you forgot the swing nites @ the viper room!! i used to confuse dean miller
(swing dj) w/ron miller (world music dj) because of that...
el> A number of swing bands mix lounge, ska and
el> latin music - one of which is Jump With Joey, which
el> incidentally features several former Solsonics members (how's that for
el> an acid-jazz connection?).
if i have my history right, jump w/joey is the band that birthed the 'sonics
& butterflow. brass used to happen at the king king (now dizzy debbie's)
the
same club where joey's band had a residency.
