mouseandhat Wednesday: Swing Dance
Over the past year or so, I have learned how to dance a handful of different swing styles, including East Coast, Charleston and the Lindy Hop. Given today's topic, I thought I might try to provide some instruction on how to perform some basic Lindy Hop steps. All information comes from sessions with the Ohio University Jitterbug Club, under the instruction of Alicia Gooding and Ben Ashman.

‘Spiral’ by Hiromi – because jazz is cool
Lately, I've been on a jazz kick. Actually, I've always been a lover of jazz, as evidenced by such hobbies as swing dancing and playing the saxophone. To say that I am an avid connoisseur of the genre, however, would be a stretch of the truth. In reality, I am not very knowledgeable about the evolution of jazz over the years. That said, I can say that jazz pianist Hiromi Uehara's 2006 album Spiral is worth a listen by anyone interested in the music style. Accompanied by bassist Tony Grey and drummer Martin Valihora, Hiromi presents a mostly light-hearted collection of jazz tunes, integrating rock and electronica elements where appropriate.
