Apparently you all liked my last balkanish/jazzy/swingy/big bandish post, so I’ve decided to spread some more of the joy now that I’ve got the time, how ’bout it?I just love jazz… and Big Band… and Swing.. and Balkan music… there’s just something SO special in those rockin’ tunes that just makes me wanna stand up and imagine I can dance!… I wish I could dance to swing music, you know? like a pro, with all the swirlin’ and twirlin’ and jumpin’ and jivin’…
Well.. I hope this post can get you all dancing once again.
