Sometimes you find something that just makes your day, and my day has officially been made. I spend so much time concentrating on original material from the Swing Era, that I often miss or overlook some wonderful things in the present. Today I am able to take a rare journey into the depths of the contemporary and feel right at home.
Henrik at Swing, Jazz and Blues posted the video below of "Black Coffee" by the band Careless Lovers from Seattle. Aside from thoroughly enjoying the video, I learned that it won the top prize at the 2011 Seattle Vintage Jazz Dance (SVJD) Swing/Jazz Dance Music Video Contest. You read right -a music video contest based around Swing Dance. These folks have earned a spot in my heart, and I will be posting more videos from this year's contest in the weeks to come. Enjoy, it's a solid killer diller!
