PERFORMER BIOS

FRIDAY

Ernestine Anderson - From intimate trio formats to big band, she does it all with seductive sophistication. Her sultry, sensuous voice is intimate in small club settings and soars with passionate intensity in the festival arena. Whether it’s Ellington or Sting, Ms. Anderson’s interpretation of a song is infectious. On stage, she’s charming and vivacious, her joy in the music delighting audiences from Sweden to Japan.

Ms. Anderson has recorded more than 30 albums, performed at all the major jazz festivals, and has received four Grammy nominations. She was one of 75 women chosen for the book, I Dream a World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America, by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Brian Lanker, joining such company as Rosa Parks, Leontyne Price, Barbara Jordan, and Toni Morrison.

SATURDAY

Benny Powell is a journeyman trombonist whose bold sound bridges bebop and swing. His work employs the vocal color of great swing trombonists and the technical fluidity of bop practitioners. Powell plays both tenor trombone and the bigger-bored bass trombone broadening the colors he brings to an ensemble. Known exclusively as a sideman, he’s made valuable contributions to several notable bands, ranging from the rocking swing of Lionel Hampton to the roots-informed avant-garde of John Carter. A native of New Orleans, Powell started performing professionally at 14. By age 18, he had joined Lionel Hampton, and three years later he left to join the Count Basie Orchestra just as Basie was re-establishing his band as one of the benchmarks of the field.

Catherine Russell is a native New Yorker, born with an enviable musical pedigree. Her father, the late Luis Russell, was born in Panama and moved to New Orleans and then New York City, becoming a pioneering pianist/bandleader, and Louis Armstrong’s long-time musical directory. Her mother, Carline Ray, is an outstanding bassist and vocalist and holder of advanced degrees from Julliard and Manhattan School of Music, who has performed with Mary Lou Williams and Wynton Marsalis. Not surprisingly considering her roots, Catherine Russell is a one of a kind vocalist. She has toured the world, performing and recording with a wide array of trend setting artist, including Paul Simon, David Bowie, Steely Dan, Cyndi Lauper, Jackson Browne and Rosanne Cash.

Marcus McLaurine is a bassist, composer, leader and sideman, who has become one of the most sought-after artists in jazz, sharing bandstands with Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Burrell, James Moody, Lou Donaldson, Dame Cleo Laine, Joe Williams, Jon Hendricks, Abbey Lincoln and the Count Basie Orchestra. For the past 25 years, Marcus has toured with legendary trumpeter Clark Terry.

T.K.Blue is a saxophonist of the highest caliber who is at the peak of his creative output. Mr. Blue’s artistry is found on over sixty recordings and has performed with a long list of great international artists such as Don Cherry, Abdullah Ibrahim, Sam Rivers, Archie Shepp, Randy Weston, Dizzy Gillespie, Pharoah Sanders, Melba Liston, Johnny Copeland, Billy Higgins, Reggie Workman, Chico Hamilton, Stefon Harris, Eric Reed, Regina Carter, Bobby McFerrin, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Benny Powell, James Moody, Paquito d’Rivera, and Jimmy Scott, just to name a few.

Daniel Mixon is a prolific piano virtuoso. Danny has worked with such legendary performers as Lionel Hampton, Charles Mingus, Dannie Richmond, Joe Williams, and Frank Foster, and continues to be in Frank’s Loud Minority Big Band and his Non-Electric Company. Danny also plays, composes, and arranges for his own group “The Danny Mixon Trio.” He has also performed, toured and/or recorded with Yusef Lateef, Hank Crawford, Savion Glover, Pharoah Sanders, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Stanley Turrentine, Gene Ammons, Eubie Blake, Noel Pointer, Jimmy Witherspoon, Grant Green, Eddie Jefferson, Charles McPherson, Marlena Shaw, Irene Reid, Houston Person, Dakota Staton, Ben Vereen, Leon Tomas, Chaka Khan, Cassandra Wilson, Lou Rawls, Gloria Lynne, Lisle Atkinson, Oscar Brown, Jr., John Hendricks, Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers, Earl May, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Kenny Dorham and many others.

SUNDAY

Skip Parsons has been swinging the Northeast and other areas since 1956 playing clubs, dances and festivals. You can expect to hear some Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Hoagy Carmichael, George Gershwin, Walter Donaldson, Glenn Miller, and on and on ….

They have a repertoire of music from the 30’s and 40’s …They even touch on music from the 20’s, and 50’s, with perhaps a hint of Latin and the Blues. They cater to up-beat, medium and slower music to keep you on your feet and swingin’.

The music is danceable, listenable, happy, and sweet hot!!!

Dancing to live music is exciting; please help support it.

Bring a friend or 2, especially those who would like to get started with swing dancing.

Plus there are lots of other dance events. See below for all the details.

Wedding Ceremony Music
admin — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:41:53 +0000
Hello everybody, I’m back again to share a very helpful article I found. For your wedding ceremony direction and music needs please call DJ Dancin’ Dawn at 518-542-4272. www.DANCINTIME.com Below is a fun video to watch of a ceremony. Dancin’ Time did not DJ this event.

It’s safe to say that out of all the events for which you will gather your friends and family to celebrate your marriage, the wedding ceremony itself will be the most meaningful and, hopefully, memorable. In the United States, music plays many vital roles in the wedding ceremony, from providing flow and ambiance to highlighting the deeper emotional meaning. Many former brides and grooms remember the songs played at their weddings for the rest of their lives, and they can relive that romantic day when hearing those songs again.
Since music is so important to your wedding ceremony, I always advise hiring one or more live, experienced, professional musicians to handle it. Qualified, well-researched musicians will be able to tailor the music in real time to fit what is going on in your ceremony, which will help one part flow effortlessly into the next. Also, you’ll find it truly ties together all of the visual and verbal elements, from the flowers to the vows, with timeless style and class.
For the music, most American wedding ceremonies have six major parts, each with their own special requirements:
1.	The prelude
2.	The wedding party’s processional
3.	The bride’s processional
4.	The interlude
5.	The recessional
6.	The postlude
If you do not want to choose individual songs for your ceremony, experienced wedding musicians will be able to play appropriate songs in the right places. But picking out your own music can be more meaningful and satisfying. The first decision you should make that will guide you in your choices is whether you want your music to be traditional and classic or lesser-known but unique. The professional wedding musicians you hire should have a supply of music from both categories in their repertoire.
The Prelude
The purpose of the prelude music is to welcome guests as they are being seated before the ceremony. It also should give a cheerful yet subdued atmosphere, setting the stage for the solemnity of the event. The prelude generally begins 15 to 20 minutes before the ceremony start time, and it often involves quite a few songs. Because of this, it’s best to give the musician(s) an idea of the genre of music you want and leave the individual song choices up to their discretion. Since the prelude sets the tone for the rest of the ceremony, it’s a good idea to base your genre choice on the type of music you will be using later in the ceremony. Popular genre choices include Classical, Love Songs, Jazz, and Broadway, and these genres can be mixed together within the prelude to suit your taste. Each of these genres has sub-categories (Baroque or Romantic Classical music, old or new love songs, etc.), but it’s safe to leave those choices up to the musicians unless you have strong feelings one way or another.
The Wedding Party’s Processional
The wedding party’s processional marks the official beginning of the ceremony. It should have a slow but flowing feel, ushering the beautiful bridesmaids and other members of the wedding party down the aisle. Perhaps the classic example here is Canon in D by Pachelbel, but you should listen to various musical selections to find a song that strikes a chord with you.
The Bride’s Processional
The bride’s processional can be an incredible moment, as memorable to everyone involved as the vows or any other part of the ceremony. You should choose a very special song here. If you go with Classical music, the obvious traditional choice is Wagner’s Bridal Chorus (”Here Comes the Bride”). But any Classical piece that strikes you as particularly beautiful or meaningful can be used here. If you’re going with jazz, pop, or Broadway, use a song with beautiful music as well as lyrics that are meaningful to you. Even if you don’t have a singer at your wedding, the lyrics to a popular song will still play in everyone’s minds when they hear the melody.
The Interlude
The interlude can actually be many different moments in the ceremony, my very loose definition being any time there are no words being spoken for a minute or more. For most ceremonies, the interlude is the unity candle, memorial candle, or rose presentation. These are moments of quiet reflection, and the music you choose should encourage this mood. A popular and appropriate unity candle choice is The Wedding Song, partly because the lyrics mention the word “union.” Sweet Classical favorites include Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring by Bach, Ave Maria by Schubert, and Meditation from Thais by Massenet.
The Recessional
At last, time to celebrate! The wedding officiant’s pronouncement of husband and wife is followed by enthusiastic applause and joyous recessional music as the happy couple leads the way back up the aisle. The song you choose should be bright and upbeat, inviting everyone to celebrate your union. The top traditional choice for the recessional is Mendelssohn’s Wedding March. A close second and third are Beethoven’s Ode to Joy and Clarke’s Trumpet Voluntary. But any song with a joyous feel that speaks to you will work well in this spot.
The Postlude
The postlude sets a pleasant atmosphere as guests are leaving. It can last between 10 and 30 minutes, so it’s best to treat the postlude like the prelude and simply give the musicians an idea of what you want. Experienced wedding musicians will play postlude music that is refined but upbeat, adding the finishing touch to your beautiful ceremony.
The best starting point for specific ceremony music ideas is the repertoire list on the website (or in paper form) of the musicians you are hiring. The songs listed there are usually ones that the musicians are requested to play frequently and that the musicians know very well. Talk with your musicians as far in advance of the ceremony as possible about your musical selections. This way, if you have a special request that is not in the musicians’ repertoire, they may be able to accommodate it.
Lastly, have fun with the process of choosing your music! You can make listening to possible ceremony music a wonderful opportunity to slow down in the midst of your hectic planning and reflect on the love that you and your partner feel for each other. Music has the power to express this beautiful sentiment to all of your friends and family during your wedding ceremony, so take advantage of it!

Albany Saratoga Funky First Dance Wedding Video
admin — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 17:32:53 +0000
Hi everybody! First Dance Lessons are an awesome way to really get the whole reception rockin’. When the guests experience the bride and groom doing great dance moves to their wedding song they want to dance more. It’s that simple. We have seen this happen every time. By the way we do teach First Dance Lessons. Our brides and grooms are so much happier and more confident since we are their DJ and First Dance Instructors.
Have a great weekend. We have lots of events to DJ this weekend. We welcome comments and questions. DJ Dancin’ Dawn, 518-542-4272, dawn@DANCINTIME.com, www.DANCINTIME.com
The video below is an example of one way you could do your first dance.

admin — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 19:41:58 +0000
I’m back from an awesome weekend of DJ and Dance entertainment. We had a great time and so did our customers. Here are some more tips to add to last weeks.
Remember not only are you calling around for a price qoute, but also to find entertainment that will make your event the best it can be. So take the time to talk with  the DJ company over the phone. Tell the Dj what is important to you and find out what is special about their service.
At Dancin’ Time we are sought after because we…
Keep the party flowing from start to finish!
Make sure everybody has fun!
Play the songs you want to hear & take requests!
Appropriately interact with you and your guests!
Have over 10 years experience!
Dancin’ Time is different because we offer in addition to excellent DJ entertainment…
Dance Performances at your event!
We show your guests how to Salsa, Swing, and Merengue!
First Dance Lessons!
Secure online event planner and formality song suggestions! 
 
 Karaoke!
Second and third sets of sound equipment and back up!
Worry free events form start to finish for you!
Credit Cards Accepted!
Signing off for now, talk to you soon! We welcome comments and questions. DJ Dancin’ Dawn, 518-542-4272, dawn@DANCINTIME.com, www.DANCINTIME.com








How to find a great DJ
admin — Fri, 30 May 2008 18:32:37 +0000
Finding a great DJ. Keep in mind your guests will remember how much fun they had or didn’t have long after the party is over. The meal and location will be secondary. So spending time and more money on great entertainment will make it all worth while.
First ask your friends, collegues, and family if they know of a great DJ. If you don’t come up with anyone search Albany DJ. An experienced full time DJ will be more likely to have a website, as opposed to a DJ that does it on the side. Check out DJ websites and see which one most appeals to you.
Call them and check their availabitiy first. Let them know your date, start and end time, type of event, and location. Many times if you call a DJ on the weekend chances are you will not get someone on the phone because most events happen over the weekend. So leave a message with the above inforamtion and your name and number. Be willing to answer their questions so they can give you an accurate quote. Each event has it’s specific needs and wants.
If you really want great entertainment, pay attention to how the DJ is interacting with you over the phone. You want a DJ that will be flexable with your requests and very customer service focused. Well I have to go now, but I do have lots more valuable inforamtion to help you. Please check back next week for more on this topic. Have a great weekend. We have lots of events to DJ this weekend. We welcome comments and questions. DJ Dancin’ Dawn, 518-542-4272, dawn@DANCINTIME.com, www.DANCINTIME.com
