by Carl Nelson
Lindybloggers is happy to announce the start of a new weekly column: Song of the Week.
Our first Song of the Week is brought to you by DJ Allen Kerr of Washington, D.C. Allen has DJed such events as Sugarfoot Stomp, Lindy Focus, BalJam, and is a regular DJ at Jam Cellar. He’s known for rocking my socks anytime he DJs.
Song: Everybody Rock
Artist: Ella Fitzgerald & Her Famous Orchestra
Album: Live at the Savoy 1939-40
Everybody Rock is a track I’ve been playing frequently off of my favorite jazz album. This is Chick Webb’s orchestra shortly after Chick Webb passed away leaving the band to Ella Fitzgerald. Ella takes the back seat, shouting encouragement to the band, but never singing. This is swing music at it’s finest. If you don’t own this CD, buy it now (Amazon.com). You will not be disappointed.

I am hoping to see a review of Lindy Focus soon!
I don’t know why I don’t have this CD already. Thanks for posting this!
