Okay... It's taken me a long, long time to get around to writing about my love of "sweet" big band music, R&B, the blues, and numerous other related subjects that zillions of other people know more about than I do. I'm afraid it'll take much longer for me to really do the topic justice -- I've got a lot of other stuff to get off my desk first. But stay tuned. I'll definitely be adding a lot more to this section soon.

Some pages of interest:

• The Big Band Database is an exceptionally informative site, with thousands of entries, including specialized sections on British, European and Latin dance bands, as well as asides on western swing and ukulele music fron the Depression era. An amazing online resource.

• Sweet Big Bands & Assorted Softies

• Big Band Books & Music Guides

• Solid! is well laid-out and informative... a very good resource for Swing & Sweet Jazz info, as well as lounge music and bachelor pad kitsch.
