Review of Vince Giordano

HITS THE PULSE OF A GROWING YOUTH MARKET. This piece is in tune with a growing trend among the young toward the music being played live by more and more bands today that makes for great Lindy Hop and Swing dancing.

Stations that feature a weekly program in this genre should do very well. To check the pulse on what's currently happening -- kids looking for places to go for this music and dancing to it, look up the clubs dedicated to it on Yahoo.

This piece relates well to a current trend -- noting the fact that in YahooGroups there are over 2,000 Lindy Hop, Swing Dancing clubs -- covering every major city and then some -- with membership in the clubs ranging from highs of 5,000 in several clubs to many with 2,000-plus members and a few with membership above 500. And, there are other clubs on MSN and Excite, too.

This piece should help program directors and station managers to tune in to the pulse out there and to encourage good positioning in this to provide something each week (if only on weekends -- or nightly during evening drive-home from work time) along the lines of the interests to which this piece by Amber gives some good insight.

Very professionally done technically, too!


Review of Vince Giordano

The man who plays the silver stringed bass is portrayed in this piece. Mr. Giordano is also a collector, and the stuff he has collected over the years is enviable. The interview reveals a grounded man who's adept at the business side of things as well. A great piece on a man who has a healthy consumption of music, 24/7.

Appropriate for lots of uses!

What a sweet piece! This is a very well done short documentary about someone you might not know about if you didn’t heard this piece. It’s well constructed showing exceptional story telling skills and editing.

Technically the piece is perfectly produced with levels, mixing and timing all in tip top order.

I was engaged and entertained and glad I listened to this piece. I am not going to go too far in the details. It’s a short piece that is better listened to than read about. If you’re a jazz station, this is perfect for your morning show!
