Fizz setlist 7/16/2007

I originally posted the commentary on Windyhop here. I deejayed all night, from 9:30 p.m. until about 1 a.m.

1. Sent For You Yesterday - Count Basie - The Complete Decca Recordings - 2:58
   (9:35 p.m. At the beginning of the night, I was thinking I'd play some big band/classic swing/bal music. But judging by the crowd there are the start, I decided to shift gears pretty quick.)
   
2. Stormy Monday - Barbara Morrison - Live at the 9:20 Special - 4:35
3. Too Darn Hot - Ella Fitzgerald - Mack The Knife: The Complete Ella In Berlin - 3:16
4. I'm Gonna Sit Right Down And Write Myself A letter - Jay McShann - For Dancers Only! - 3:55
5. Ain't Misbehavin' - Kermit Ruffins - Putumayo Presents: Kermit Ruffins - 4:36
   (Next one is a "chill out" song that relaxes the energy of the previous tracks.)
   
6. How About You? - The Boilermaker Jazz Band - Give Me Your Telephone Number - 4:03
7. Four or Five Times - Joe Williams - For Dancers Only! - 4:48
8. For Dancers Only - The Solomon Douglas Swingtet - Swingmatism - 2:34
9. Blues In Hoss' Flat - George Gee - Swingin - 5:15
10. Bei Mir Bist Du Schane - Janis Siegel - Swing Kids - 4:11
11. The Flat Foot Floogie - Slim Gaillard - 1938-46 - 2:50
    (Gotta love it when somebody comes up to the booth requesting a number that happens to be one of the DJ's favorite tunes: Minor Swing.)
    
12. Minor Swing - The Boilermaker Jazz Band - Give Me Your Telephone Number - 3:41
13. Deacon's Hop - Ronnie Magri & his New Orleans Jazz Band - Shim Sham Revue - 2:39
14. Keepin' Out A Mishif Now - Carling Family - 20th Jubilee - 3:32
    (Next two are banjo songs for Annimal.)
    
15. Shine On Harvest Moon - Pete Fountain - Pete Fountain and The Kings Of Dixieland - 2:52
16. Hello, Dolly! - Louis Armstrong - Ken Burns Jazz - 2:24
17. Lindyhopper's Delight - Chick Webb - Strictly Jive - 2:45
    (Next is another chill out song.)
    
18. On the Sunny Side of the Street - Dizzy Gillespie - The Champ - 3:09
19. Pennies From Heaven - Dinah Washington - Mixed Emotions - 2:19
20. All The Cats Join In - Jessica Molaskey - A Good Day - 4:15
21. You Don't Know What Love Is - Rachelle Ferrell - First Instrument - 5:14
    (I was going to stop here and do announcements & a birthday jam, but I flubbed and let the next track start playing. It was kind of a rough change, since the Rachelle Ferrell is very understated, and Linda Hopkins lets it rip right away. Whoops!)
    
22. Let the Good Time Roll - Linda Hopkins - Wild Woman Blues - 3:26
    (A little after 11:00 p.m. Next one is the birthday jam for Jame.)
    
23. Don't Get Around Much Anymore - Barbara Morrison - Live at the 9:20 Special - 4:16
    (I don't have a microphone, so I transition immediately into the next song, a very "safe" Ella track that I expect will keep people on the floor. Next few are groovy jazz, keeping things cool.)
    
24. Smooth Sailing - Ella Fitzgerald - Bluella: Ella Fitzgerald Sings The Blues - 3:08
25. I Love Paris - Esther Phillips - Confessin' the Blues - 4:09
26. Vem Vet - Lisa Ekdahl - Lisa Ekdahl - 3:05
27. I Only Want Some - John Pizzarelli - New Standards - 6:31
    (I fade out around 3:50 because the rest is just guitar noodling. Next track keeps things chill, but changes modes to a more traditional sound. Earlier I was thinking of playing a Boilermaker's track right before the break, so that I could mention that they are coming to town. Since I didn't work it in before, I work in two more tracks now.)
    
28. Until the Real Thing Comes Along - The Boilermaker Jazz Band - Give Me Your Telephone Number - 4:41
29. Let Me Off Uptown - Roy Eldridge - Little Jazz - 3:24
30. Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me - Sidney Bechet - The Fabulous Sidney Bechet - 5:43
31. It's De-Lovely - The Boilermaker Jazz Band - Give Me Your Telephone Number - 4:04
    (De-Lovely is a favorite song to use in lessons at Big City Swing.)
    
32. Flying Home - Lionel Hampton - Lionel Hampton Story 2: Flying Home - 3:10
    (After cresting, I relax the energy but keep the tempos peppy with a popular track.)
    
33. I Love Jazz - Louis Armstrong - Louis Armstrong - 4:39
34. Big Shoe - Johnny Hodges With Duke Ellington - Side by Side - 5:33
    (I didn't think anyone but me knew about Big Shoe, but after I play it someone mentions that it's one of their favorites. Right about now I start thinking that I should transition toward some blues. I figure I can do that by cresting, then taking the tempo way down immediately.)
    
35. Strut Miss Lizzy - Firecracker Jazz Band - Firecracker Jazz Band Explodes - 3:41
    (Next song has a similar sound, but very different tempo.)
    
36. On the Sunny Side of the Street - Kermit Ruffins - Putumayo Presents: Kermit Ruffins - 5:10
    (And in to some straight-up blues, just before midnight.)
    
37. Mighty Tight Woman - Bonnie Raitt - Bonnie Raitt - 4:20
38. Don't Go No Farther - Muddy Waters - The Chess Box - 2:56
39. Mean Old World - B.B. King - The Early Bluebird Years - 4:32
    (Keeping the bluesy sound, but bringing the energy back up.)
    
40. As Long As I'm Moving - Ruth Brown - The Essentials: Ruth Brown - 2:43
41. The Darktown Strutters' Ball - Katherine Davis - Dream Shoes - 3:40
42. Good Rockin' Tonight - Jack McDuff & Jimmy Witherspoon - The Blues Is Now - 2:17
    (Next one was a request. It kept things moving into an older trad feel.)
    
43. Savoy Blues - Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen - Trad Jazz Masters - 3:53
44. Sugar Blues - Clarence Williams - Boogie Woogie Blues - 3:39
    (Next song provides a transition from trad into nice groovy jazz.)
    
45. Fibre de verre - Paris Combo - Attraction - 3:39
46. Fever - Kenny Burrell & Jimmy Smith - Blue Bash! - 5:36
47. Love Me or Leave Me - Peggy Lee - Black Coffee - 2:10
    (And into another slow blues.)
    
48. All Your Love - The Peter Malick Group - Ogden's Blues Favorites, Vol. 1 - 4:37
    (Then some Motown and silliness to close out the night.)
    
49. Movin' and Groovin' - Sam Cooke - The Man Who Invented Soul - 2:53
50. It's A Shame - The Spinners - Motown: The Classic Years - 3:10
51. The Way You Move - Outkast - Speakerboxxx - 3:53
52. Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home - Patsy Cline - The Last Sessions - 2:48
