Danish Goodness continued. This Swingstyrke 7 album was recorded live in 2007 and it’s great. Still lots of late Basie, but some other action as well, including a version of ‘Doodlin”, a song I’m quite partial to. I’ve put this in the ‘groovy swinging lindy hop’ category in my collection, which means that it’s not for people who only like old scratchy. But if you like a little hi-fi and a little super groove, then it is for you. I like this stuff for the quality, I like the super laid-back swingingness of it, and I like it that it’s super groove, which I think of as high powered groove. It doesn’t make you sit down and listen, it makes you get up and dance. As with the other Swingstyrke 7 CD, the songs can be a bit long. This is ok when the tempos are lower, but I’ll have to watch it when I’m DJing them for dancers.
This CD is good, but the 70s band gave good moustache. European, tight-jeaned flare-legged moustache. And that’s sweet.
swingstyrke 7 Right On!
