When asked by a society matron what swing was, Fats Waller replied, "Lady, if you has to ask - you ain't got it". What he was saying was that swing cannot be defined. It is that indefinable something, that momentum and drive that some have and some don't. This CD has it in abundance. It is slammin'. It is foot stompin'. It is all that you listen to jazz for in the first place...uplifting. Artists Included: Joey DeFrancesco; Randy Johnston; Houston Person; Jimmy Ponder; Charles Earland; Irene Reid; Teddy Edwards; Red Holloway. Tracks: Slammin' At Slims; Blues For the Millennium; Sweet Sucker; James Street; Put It Where You Want It; Big Fat Daddy; Midnight Creeper; One Eyed Man; Snu-Fu.
