As we take a step through into the next decade, we find ourselves in the 1930s! Coming right off of the great depression and into the swing era.

Trane/Train Set
Every single artist, or album features the word "Train" or "Trane" (like John Coltrane.) If you were a fan of the Dave & David set a few months ago, you might like this as well :)

Where do we go from here?
Since the final set next week will be a recap on my favorite music of the year, today's set is the last unique set of the Swing Set until we go until the next semester.
Today's set has a lot of funk, funk jazz, and overall the music I want to expand more towards as we go into the Fall. I love jazz and I'm going to keep playing jazz, but I want to expand out and play other genres just to try something new. The Swing Set is getting an expansion and is likely becoming The Playground next Fall. :)

Just Jazz Set and also a little daytime
With a lot of the previous sets this semester being themed, I thought of trying another theme. This theme is "Just Jazz" where I play music that you would think is just jazz.
Also an hour daytime set after since Full Metal Racket won't be in the studio today so I'm taking her timeslot briefly.
