I like the Jimmy Smith version better but this is great! Click to play, need to add controllers to these things.
The video to be posted in a few days, it'll be funny I promise. What we've realized after djing these gigs for a while in New York City is how much easier it can be to have a gig at a venue a little bit outside the city. Often times the majority of the stress is getting there, unloading, setting up etc. The Rainbow Room and it's security were really strict, they had fingerprint machines, 4 levels of security, but waiting to get in at the end of the night really reminds you of how key it is where the event will be held.
Here's a clip from the Rainbow Room where we played some merengue, salsa, latin soul, funk, roots, reggae, cha cha cha, calypso, motown and disco. Enjoy!
Slideshows are always tricky at events, both to sync up with the audio, the timing, length and content. This is one of two which Bruce and Ko presented at their wedding and I must say it was extremely effective. So nice to see a chronology of a person's youth and it really adds another dimension, especially if you have people who may not know each other as well. Give it about 6 seconds to load...
