ABW 2010 Contest Music

So after several years of being the Head DJ at ABW, I thought I would finally release the song names and artists for the competition music. Have fun, enjoy, and if you hear that song next year, which you probably will, don’t suck.

Thanks for posting this!

Thanks!! Good stuff!

The track “Uppercut – Artist Unknown”, could it be…
“Uppercut” by “Erwin Steinbacher Mit Seinem Orchester” off the “Swinging Ballroom Berlin 1936-1939 – 3″ CD?
Cheers
Kyle Smith
It very well could be. I was trying my hardest to get this list out while the event was still hot, and all I had down on my spread sheet was “german Swing” lol….I think I picked it up from the Swing Tanzen Verboten CD Collection.
Bill
Kyle, hi…I was the guy at ABW 2010 that mentioned to you that “Jericho” by Sidney Bechet was mentioned as a first place Balboa track “on some internet blog”…upon which you answered “That was my list.” A cool moment indeed. And thank you for collating and publishing this…I shall delve into it straightaway!
Lorenzo
Kyle, I would be curious to know more about the tune “I’ve Found a New Baby” by Boots & His Buddies that you list in the Heat 2 of the Open Jack and Jill Prelims. I don’t think that such a tune is any of two Chronological Classics compilations for that band.
Thank you very much!
Kyle Smith
good catch, i mistyped, it’s Willie Lewis!
Jamie
Thanks for sharing Kyle. Which album did you get “Business in F” from by Gene Kardos? Thanks!
Kyle Smith
New York Jazz In The Early Thirties, if i recall correctly
