Cheers for all the Art Blakey replies (my computer's been broke for
a month... finally fixed). I have 'Drum Suite' and 'Roots and Herbs' ,
both of which are excellent. (PS when i first heard Cubano Chant, i
had the strange feeling of it being very familiar. so did my friends,
but none of us have been able to work out where we'd heard it. are
there any famous cover versions?) Moanin' and A Night in Tunisia
are excellent lps, but i haven't got round to getting them on vinyl
yet... But i'll look out for "The Freedom Rider" and "The Witch
Doctor" 'cos i've never heard of these two.
I've been reading Snowboy's coloumn in Big Daddy about Jazz
Dance. He's always so elliptical though. I really want to find out
about a lot of this stuff. The problem i find is that you need to know
not just the artists, but which particular songs cut it on a dance
floor. Anybody know of any good websites that would help? What
about sites giving the history of the "Jazz Dance" scene in the UK
(PS I don;t want a discussion of what Jazz Dance is, lets just
concentrate on the tunes, folks.)
Thanks,
Tom
