Fizz setlist 6/15/2009

It's been ages (well, maybe 3 or 4 weeks) since Mary and I last showed up at Fizz, so I was excited to go and dance to Chris Aubin's music, then mouse jockey some of my own. It was a fun night, if I do say so myself. A couple out-of-towners showed....they finally got the air conditioning fired up... and a lot of women showed up, so I danced a lot, even after I started djing. (Tut tut!)

Here's my set list (bpm sparkline and distribution). Chris Aubin had the early set, and I took over at 11 with a birthday jam:

1. Hello, Dolly! - Louis Armstrong - Ken Burns Jazz - 2:24 - 155 (birthday jam)
   
2. Perdido Street Blues - Louis Armstrong - The Complete Decca Studio Master Takes - 3:08 - 145

4. Lady Be Good - Svend Asmussen - Musical Miracle Vol. 1: 1935-40 - 2:56 - 180 (There was some sort of sound malfunction after this song, so I grabbed my iPod and hit play on the first jazz tune I could find.)

11. You’ve Got To See Mama Ev’ry Night - Kay Starr - Kay Starr: the Best of The Standard Transcriptions - 1:57 - 127 (A good part of the crowd there at 11:30 seemed to want blues and slower lindy, so I try to oblige.)
