Good big-band/swing discussion boards?

[ghost of miles]

Not that Organissimo doesn't meet my needs in this dpt. Just looking for a good board that's devoted entirely to big-band/swing. Swingmusic.net has a nice layout & site, but nobody posts over there.

That is actually a pretty cool site.

I would have posted some wisdom for you, but I didn't see the forums page.

Some schmoe named "Ghost of Miles" over there having a lovely conversation with himself right now. B-)

Cool. I'll sign up there some day.

The Big Band Talk forum may be a good place too once they get their new software (the old one was too spam-friendly). Several knowledgeable posters there in its old incarnation.

Though not really a swing/big band board, the Bix Beiderbecke forum can be a pretty lively place.

Kinda scary over there at times...

Check out the link posted by Randy Twizzle. Click ' fantastic news about Vince Giordano's Nighthawks' and then the earth cam link. I was amazed, sitting eating my lunch in suburban Tokyo and watching a live gig in Times Square.

Broadband internet is really something.

Don't cross the locals!

A couple of Yahoo groups focused on swing/big bands:

songbirds (very lively, vocalists zone)

swingera (no activity, forget it)

Yeah, I signed up for "Songbirds" after a poster here told me about it. Somebody was looking for a Jackie Paris LP that we have in our station's library, and I offered to send her a dub. She sent back a nice, lengthy reply--turned out to be Carol Sloane!

Yes, I saw that one and hope to check it out when the new software arrives (June?).
