"All of it is admittedly very experimental."
Product Description
Combining styles, such as hip-hop infused swing, this is a different excursion than their last two efforts. "Lindy Hop Deluxe Suite" is a six part journey in the form of abstract impressions of each major dance style that has been visited within the last few years as a part of the swing resurgence. G-Clef got the idea of presenting some original music as a backdrop to inspire the swing dancer as the soloist, originally to improvise as the music was played for the very first time. The suite was originally presented at one of the Lindy Hop scene's most prestigious events, the American Lindy Hop Championships, on October 27th, 2002, in Stamford, Connecticut. The movements of the suite cover every style from "Savoy Style" to "West Coast", and the challenge is to create a creative communion between the dancers and the musicians. The second half of the album is strictly smooth swingin' covers based upon all G-Clef's swing band experience with the likes of the late Panama Francis, the late Lionel Hampton, as well as great tenor saxophonist Illinois Jacquet, with whom G-Clef served as Lea! d Alto on and off for twelve years. All the songs on this Hounds' album are dedicated to and arranged for the dancers. The band will be available to perform the "Lindy Hop Deluxe Suite" for swing dance clubs and societies worldwide.
