Red Label: Hommage to Lester Young & the Basie-Ites
by Lester's Blues
supported by 4 fans who also own “Blue Turning Grey over You”
A crisp take on old, scratchy Basie classics. Can't say I'm in love with the vocals, but instrumental tracks are killer. Lots of good stuff to DJ from here.

Is There a Chance For Me
by The New Orleans Jazz Vipers
supported by 4 fans who also own “Blue Turning Grey over You”
Oh, man, this wild and woolly, rough and ready band swings all the others into the shade. They growl and moan, shout and sob, loose as a goose and tight like that, with a powerhouse rhythm section of just piano, bass, and guitar that lays it down with a feeling. This isn't just "Swing;" it's jazz from the deepest roots of New Orleans, and it totally sends me.
