I will be discussing it with the group and perhaps we ll do something in the next record. There s a big difference today. It was an era that the dancer demanded the best from the many different orchestras. The dancer played an important part in what the bands played and recorded. After all we performed for them to dance.
Today there is less emphasis on the dancing aspect of the music.
We have to understand that we re in an era where the people go see to a show. It s not like before where one went to dance. For the most part the people go to see the artist sing. They have taken away a little bit of the swing element of the music. They have even disregarded the concept of clave.
