Blimey! A bit extreme. Surely just stopping dancing would be enough? |

| Really need to get this book. This scene massively interests me. On a side note - I've been asked to do my first ever jazz dance set at long running nottingham night "Out to Lunch" in June and I'm starting to get a little nervous. Any tips from brownswooders who have played such gigs would be greatly appreciated! Let me get this straight - this isn't playing jazz music to people in a bar as background music while people get sauced. That's a piece of piss. No, this is a full on jazz dance. They come to move and you've gotta make em shake it. I've already starting picking the records out and despite being a little apprehensive I'm also massively excited about the possibility of playing some more modern fusion type stuff to them as the majority of the music played down there is in essence pure old school. I might even throw in some more contemporary wonky flavours from maybe the likes of IG Culture and co. Always remember the dancers going nuts when Red Rack Em played em Moonstarrs "Movin' on" and the like last year. Nearer the time I'll post up a proper event but it's a gig that's gotta be one of the scariest for me. |

which I quite remember wasn't that great and was just annoyed that they weren't getting on with Roy Ayers. | QUOTE (MADMONGOS @ May 02, 2009 04:34 pm) |
| Did anyone go to the Roy Ayers concert in Camden at the Worlds End cira 89? It had a Jazz dance competition which was getting judged by Gilles P and Patrick F and I think Norman Jay? It was filmed and advertised it was gonna be on telly but I never saw it. Did it ever get broadcast? The night also had a comedy section which I quite remember wasn't that great and was just annoyed that they weren't getting on with Roy Ayers. |

Cheers FDA. I've seen them before, they are mental aren't they. No it wasn't that one. Well I'm sure it wasn't anyway. I would of remembered the boxing ring but I was well wasted on Red Stripe. Anyone know where the boxing ring footage was filmed? Nice one FDA Mike |

How can someone mistakenly put an "h" in years? Maybe he was going for some RP spelling? |

Yes yes!! Wrighty smashed it yesterday at the Out to lunch jazzdance!!!! Brilliant set mate.... we need a full tracklisting. So good to hear the Zero dB remix of Grupo Batuque's "E Ruim". And the Bugz "zombie"!! I never thought they'd get down to that but they were loving it! Also need that LIVE version of Tania Marie "Yantra ta". That was heavy. Some brilliant dancing down there yesterday. That women was awesome. Already started packing the bag for my debut next month. Can't wait! |
