Podcast appearances and mentions of jonathan stout

On Episode 9 of Steel, we travel to Portland, Oregon to interview Jeremy Wakefield, one of the finest swing and jazz lap steel players out there. He has a beautiful touch, he's a great improviser, and he breathes life into this style of American music. Jeremy has played and recorded alongside ridiculously great players like Dave Biller, TK Smith, Jonathan Stout and Sage Guyton. His albums 'Hot Guitars of Biller and Wakefield' and 'Steel Guitar Caviar' are touchstone latterday swing steel guitar records. Jeremy's playing is also heard all over the TV show 'Spongebob Squarepants.'  Check out the following links to learn more about Jeremy and his music: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5M6dbAh0RRMC2AgKFWG2T6?si=8f425a7e0e2c4f05 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvvtMAAyfWucymmatfI5yj25bYEKHkzBl&si=LE39T6ldMKRcpS4S https://www.instagram.com/titanicstinks https://jeremywakefield.bandcamp.com/album/steel-guitar-caviar-2 https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Jeremy_Wakefield Deep thanks to Benson Amps for their support of this episode.  https://www.bensonamps.com/ This podcast is brought to you by the wonderful folks at the Fretboard Journal magazine.

From Sourced Network Productions, it's the Hot Jazz Network, with host, George Cole.Today on our show, we have an incredible guitarist, but he's much more than that. He's a historian. He can help you get out of a parking ticket as well. And I personally feel that his left pinky should be enshrined in the Smithsonian. He's bringing, shining a light on guitarists like Alan Roos, Eddie Lang, Freddie Green, and much, much more.Folks, you're going to love it. Here he is, Jonathan Stout.

Meet Jonathan Stout, a Southern California-based jazz guitarist best known as a bandleader in the swing dance world. Jonathan's story is unlike any we've ever heard: Here's someone who cites Kirk Hammett as an influence, along with Benny Goodman guitarist Allan Reuss. He's a player, a scholar of early jazz guitar, a drummer, and he can even get you out of a traffic ticket (yep, he's also a lawyer).  During our chat, we talk about the unique music requirements of modern-day swing dances, we hear about Jonathan's favorite vintage guitars, and learn why he's so obsessed with Reuss. Plus a lot more...    This is one of our favorite interviews to date and we think you'll love it. https://www.campusfive.com/ Listen to Jonathan Stout's solo album, 'Pick It and Play It': https://jonathanstout.bandcamp.com/album/pick-it-and-play-it Watch Jonathan play at the Fretboard Journal: https://youtu.be/PPqJtVVT9I8 Subscribe to the Fretboard Journal and start with our new, 52nd issue: https://shop.fretboardjournal.com/products/fretboard-journal-annual-subscription Register for the Fretboard Summit (August 24-26, 2023 at Chicago's legendary Old Town School of Folk Music): https://fretboardsummit.org Our podcast is sponsored by Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, Deering Banjos; Peghead Nation (use the promo code FRETBOARD and get your first month free or $20 off any annual subscription); and Stringjoy Strings (get 10% off your order with the FRETBOARD discount code).

Alexia a commencé les danses swing en 2005 à Rennes. Depuis, elle s'est installée à Paris où elle a créé l'école Shake That Swing en 2013. Elle enseigne nationalement et internationalement avec principalement Sep (Belgique) et Martynas (Lituanie). Elle nous évoque son activisme au sein de la scène et ça nous amène à discuter de sexisme, d'inclusivité, d'exclusion, de discriminations, d'appropriation culturelle, d'aborder la culture du call in et du call out.

May's socially distanced show features new pandemic-inspired releases by Keenan McKenzie & The Riffers, Jonathan Stout, Andrew & Mike’s Swingsters and Glenn Crytzer’s Secluded Seven. (59 minutes)

In this episode, I am joined by singer, dancer, and event producer, Hilary Alexander.  Hilary has been a vital part of the Los Angeles swing dance scene since she began dancing in the mid-90s - she founded and continues to run Camp Hollywood and the National Jitterbug Championships in LA, was inducted into The California Swing Dance Hall of Fame in 2008, and later served on its board for 5 years.  She has also been the co-leader and vocalist for Jonathan Stout and His Campus Five and The Jonathan Stout Orchestra since 2002. Hilary sat down with me at the 2019 California Balboa Classic to talk about taking up to swing dancing to fight loneliness when she moved cross-country after high school, what compelled her to start Camp Hollywood with absolutely no experience as an event organizer, and what it was like being part of a cultural moment at some of the most well-recognized venues of the LA swing revival. We also discuss what it was like growing up with show business aspirations in New York City, her experience as a self-taught vocalist, and how her complicated relationship with her mother has shaped her own outlook on motherhood.

January's show features new releases from Jonathan Ng, Carolina Reapers Swing, Candy Jacket Jazz Band and Jonathan Stout and a bit of audience feedback. (67 minutes)

July's show features new releases from Postmodern Jukebox with Grace Kelly, Gordon Webster, Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five and Chelsea Reed and the Fair Weather Five and plenty of international audience feedback. (84 minutes)

This month, I am joined by one of the top swing drummers in the world, and bonafide rock star, Josh Collazo. Josh is known to most swing dancers through his work behind the drum kit with bands such as Jonathan Stout’s Orchestra and Campus Five, Dave Stuckey & his Hot House Gang, or perhaps his first band, The Feetwarmers.  But Josh may be better known to more mainstream music fans as the drummer for the Grammy-winning and platinum-selling band, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros. Josh and I sat down after Lindy Focus XV and talked about how he balances those two musical worlds, how his passion for swing dancing in the late 90s influenced his development as a drummer, and what it’s like to fill the shoes of drum legends like Gene Krupa and Chick Webb at the Lindy Focus tribute nights. We also discussed his early experiences as a bandleader, the technique and music theory of what provides an authentic swing era sound, and how he has gained enough confidence as a swing musician to take the torch and start creating original swing music with his new group, the Candy Jacket Jazz Band.

This month I am joined by one of the top bandleaders for swing dancers today, Jonathan Stout.  Jonathan began dancing as a teenager in 1995, and started his first band, the Campus Five, in 2002.  Since that inception, his bands have played regularly throughout his native Los Angeles, and he has grown into a giant of the swing world. He has released 3 albums with the Campus Five, and led bands at the National Jitterbug Championships at Camp Hollywood, the Frankie 95 festival, the International Lindy Hop Championships and repeat engagements at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing.   In our conversation, we dissect what makes a good song for swing dancing, discuss whether DJs are a valuable asset to swing dancers, and his relentless pursuit of ‘the real deal’ - an obsession with the authentic and how that translates to his role as a swing dancer and bandleader.   We also talk about starting on guitar as a bedroom metalhead, discuss the differences between the Mount Rushmore of band leaders he paid tribute to at the last Lindy Focus: Basie, Shaw, Goodman & Ellington, and uncover what it took for him to get past the cliche and rediscover the joy in Benny Goodman’s "Sing, Sing, Sing."

Encourages expression of things that are not encouraged in their social groups. Teaches people how to express themselves. We all have some capacity to write and to respond to it. Fans out in their lives beyond just writing. The teacher’s job… knows things that do and don’t work and why. Try to understand what the writer is trying to say and help them say it. Can’t break the rules until you know how to play the game. Help writer make it interesting to the reader (the “heat”).   North Carolina State University (Raleigh, NC) Creative Writing Master of the Fine Arts: http://english.chass.ncsu.edu/graduate/mfa Creative Writing Undergraduate Major: http://english.chass.ncsu.edu/undergraduate/   California Poets in the Schools Program (K-12): http://www.cpits.org/   Pablo Neruda: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/bio/pablo-neruda  – Letter to Miguel: http://www.amazon.com/Letter-Miguel-Otero-Silva-Caracas/dp/B0006YN9O4   Ursula K.
