I don't know about all you other dancers out there in MJ world but I love to hit the floor to a live band.
Generally they are going to play fast stuff to keep the audience interested and if like me you really like to fly on the floor it's the best.

Anyhow if you like the same you may find this link interesting - Its the PLANET JIVE website. It does only cover England I'm afraid.
Of course you may all know this and I may be sooooooooo behind the times!

A point of note if you decide you are going to take in one of these bands in a non MJ venue a quick call to the venue to check there will be a dance floor is always worth it (been there). Also it may be sensible to take a partner incase you are the only ones that are going to strut ya stuff.

I always add live bands to my list if the venue has a dancing area - they are displayed in capital letters - however, there are not many MJ dances that do have bands, they are usually too fast or too swingy for the MJ style

Cadallac Kings are OK, they are more bluesy, also the Jive Cats, who are more Jump Jive

(I think there is another thread about this somewhere)
