Re: FW: (313) Swing/"Jive" Jazz samples

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

I have to agree with you Francis. While there are a couple of G-Swing
tracks I like, overall their releases are pretty formulaic - kick drum,
hand clap, and some snares under a cut-up jazz tune.  I was hoping to find
something a little more interesting that retains its quality over a period
of time instead of tracks that get maybe one or two plays out of them at
best.  G-Swing just comes across as lazy in the creative dept. after
hearing a three or four different records (all by different artists).

I've got a Nick Holder "Sometimes I'm Blue" on iK7 which seems to have
stood the test of time.

The Lina album sounds more interesting.

Indeed they are and loads of other similar / associated artists round a
kind
of Classic records axis.  Piccadilly seem to have had about a million of
these records 2002 - 2004.  When I first heard this style I thought it was
quirky and pleasant (though I never bought any of the records) but became
heartily sick of hearing it, glad it seems to have eased off.

Got to say I like this lady and have her album!
