Fizz setlist 10/22/2007

Originally posted on Windyhop here. I dj'ed all night, from 9:30 p.m. to about 1:00 a.m. Windyhop had a discussion of tempos going, so I created this graph of my set's bpm:
(At the beginning the night, the only folks there are a group of kids that are teaching each other East Coast Swing. They happen to be humming the melody to In the Mood, so I kick it off with Tar Paper Stomp.)
  1. Tar Paper Stomp - Mora's Modern Rhythmists - Call Of The Freaks - 3:32
  2. Send Me - Wingy Manone - Complete Brunswick & Vocalion Recordings of Louis Prima and Wingy Manone (1924-1937) - 2:44
  3. Exactly Like You - Alix Combelle - 1935-40 - 3:09
  4. Tuxedo Junction - Jan Savitt - Shuffle In Style - 3:12
    (From what I know of the folks there at this point, the crowd likes classic big band.)
  5. American Patrol - Glenn Miller - The Fabulous Swing Collection - 3:23
  6. My Blue Heaven - Artie Shaw - The Very Best Of Artie Shaw - 3:47
  7. I'm Crazy 'Bout My Baby - Louis Armstrong - Satch Plays Fats - 4:41
  8. Big John's Special - Don Neely's Royal Society Jazz Orchestra - Radio Rhythm - 3:18
  9. Sugar Foot Swamp - Artie Shaw - His First Three Bands: 1936-1940 - 3:22
  10. Le Jazz Hot - Jimmie Lunceford - Jimmie Lunceford - 2:44
    (At this point I want to move from classic big band to more New Orleans style and hot jazz.)
  11. Sad Sap Sucker Am I - Fats Waller - The Unique Mr. Waller - 3:06
  12. All Of Me/The Peanut Vendor - Dick Hyman Group Feat. Howard Alden - Sweet And Lowdown - 1:43
  13. Twenty-Four Robbers - Fats Waller - The Unique Mr. Waller - 2:45
    (Twenty-Four Robbers is a new favorite that I can't get out of my head. Skye and Frida used it for their routine at ULHS.)
  14. Viper Mad - Sidney Bechet - Sweet And Lowdown - 3:06
  15. C'est Si Bon - Louis Armstrong - Happy Birthday Louis - 3:05
  16. When Day Is Done - Coleman Hawkins - April in Paris Featuring Body And Soul - 3:21
  17. A Viper's Moan - Mora's Modern Rhythmists - Call Of The Freaks - 3:30
  18. Come On Over To My House - Jay McShann - Jumpin' The Blues - 2:52
  19. Sent For You Yesterday And Here You Come Today - Benny Goodman - B.G. In Hi-Fi - 3:05
  20. Shine On Harvest Moon - Pete Fountain - Pete Fountain and The Kings Of Dixieland - 2:52
  21. Let's Misbehave - The Boilermaker Jazz Band - You Do Something To Me - 2:52
  22. All Of Me - Twin Cities Hot Club - Twin Cities Hot Club - 4:10
    (There's a buzz of energy in the room at this point.)
  23. Jeep Jockey Jump - Glenn Miller - Inspirational Swing! - 2:13
  24. Daphne - Django Reinhardt - Django Reinhardt 3: Minor Swing - 3:03
    (This track is too chill for people - I was hoping to draw some balboa dancers out, but it doesn't work. I shift gears to more of a boogie rhythm, and plan on chilling out down to some blues music.)
  25. I'm A Bouncin' Mama - Tab Smith - Top 'n' Bottom - 2:30
  26. Honey Pie - Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers - Everybody's Talkin' 'Bout Miss Thing! - 4:10
  27. Bli Blip - Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis - Live In Swing City: Swingin' With Duke - 3:16
  28. Just One Of Those Things - Ella Fitzgerald - Mack The Knife: The Complete Ella In Berlin - 3:53
  29. For Dancers Only - Junior Mance - Happy Time - 5:50
  30. Trombone Butter - Dinah Washington - Dinah Washington Sings Bessie Smith - 3:34
  31. Since I Lost My Baby (with Susan Tedeschi) - Pinetop Perkins - Ladies Man - 3:52
    (Next track is a birthday jam. In retrospect, it's reaalllly long.)
  32. Sweet And Lovely - Mary Stallings - Manhattan Moods - 5:20
  33. Keepin' Out A Mishif Now - Carling Family - 20th Jubilee - 3:32
  34. Savoy Blues - Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen - Trad Jazz Masters - 3:53

  36. On Revival Day - Lavern Baker - Precious Memories / LaVern Sings Bessie Smith - 3:16
  37. Shake That Thing - Preservation Hall Jazz Band - Shake That Thing - 6:30
    (Shake That Thing is much longer than what I usually play, but it seemed to me like it worked. Anyone who was there have an opinion?)
  38. Gang Busters - Cats & The Fiddle - We Cats Will Swing For You - 3:06
  39. Minor Swing - Twin Cities Hot Club - Twin Cities Hot Club - 3:45
  40. Fibre de verre - Paris Combo - Attraction - 3:39
  41. Money Blues - Lavern Baker - Precious Memories / LaVern Sings Bessie Smith - 2:53
  42. The Mooche - Duke Ellington - Early Ellington: The Complete Brunswick and Vocalion Recordings of Duke Ellington, 1926-1931 - 3:13
  43. Just A-Settin' and A-Rockin' - Duke Ellington - Sophisticated Lady - 3:34
    (Yes, it's an odd transition. Next two tracks are by request.)

  45. Bring It On Home to Me - Sam Cooke - The Best of Sam Cooke - 2:42
  46. Finest Lovin' Man - Bonnie Raitt - The Bonnie Raitt Collection - 3:58
  47. All The Cats Join In - Jessica Molaskey - A Good Day - 4:15
    (Aris flips me off because the last track has an extreme tempo change in it. The next track also changes tempo, from 60 to 120 bpm. It's a more natural transition though.)
  48. Yesterdays - Carmen McRae - Carmen McRae Sings Lover Man - 4:54
  49. Lullabye of Birdland - Ella Fitzgerald - Unknown - 2:57
  50. In a Mellow Tone - Count Basie - Blues In Orbit - 2:40
  51. Harlem Air Shaft - Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis - Live In Swing City: Swingin' With Duke - 3:05
    (By 12:30, there are only a few folks left. Things get a little wonky from this point on.)
  52. Take The A Train - Duke Ellington - Big Band Spectacular - 5:18
  53. Can't We Be Friends - Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Ella & Louis - 3:47
  54. Ain't Misbehavin' - Benny Goodman - B.G. In Hi-Fi - 3:27
