a departing caravan
on a camel and of we go

During his Cotton Club days Ellington developed his "Jungle Style", a popular musical innovation of the 1920s. When the trumpet player Bubber Miley joined Ellington's band, he brought with him his unique plunger mute style of playing. This "growling" came to be called the "Jungle Sound", and it was largely responsible for Ellington's early success... Carried away by the compelling profoundness of the swing jazz impressions of jungle sounds, we find ourself flowing down the Congo River to the abysmal depths of its hidden origins, then braving the dangers of unpenetrable Amazon Rainforest, looking for lost treasures, hidden deep in the jungle.

Charleston, Foxtrot, Jitterbug, Rumba, Lindy Hop, Congeroo or Suzy Q ... This month's session takes you to the bal. From the very origins of Harlem's dance halls to Benny Goodman's Carnegie Hall concert, we try to imagine just how hot New York's night life must have been swingin' in those days. All the tracks on this compilation were selected in order of the extend in which they remind us of those other « tracks », those left by dancers' shoes on the wooden floor of a ball room, after a night of frenzy. So dust of your tuxedo, iron your nylon dress ... and get ready to jump and jive, because Los Hermanos' « Stririn' the Hotpot » is home to the happy feet.
