"For Dancers Only: A Lindy Hop Compilation" now available! Jelly Roll Productions and Yehoodi.com have been working hard with Chiaroscuro, a prominent swinging jazz label in NYC, to put together a compilation specifically for Lindy Hoppers. I worked closely with other top DJs from around the country (Dave Jacoby, Greg Avakian, Rayned Wiles, Manu Smith and Steve Wexler) to make the final selections. We know the dancers will love them. I also wrote the liner notes for the CD. You can listen to sound samples and order copies online. Yehoodi Radio Yehoodi is now broadcasting an online swing radio show. I am the show producer working closely with Manu "Spuds" Smith. The show is broadcast continuously all day, so tune in anytime and enjoy the great music!
