Solid 4

Deedlecast is back and better than ever. This week, it's time to bounce to the Solid 4 in everything from swingtime jazz to hip-hop, pop, and classic rock. What's the "solid four?" you ask. It's just the subtle but vital pulse of swing, the big bands, the big band era, and the great majority of jazz solos that aspire to true greatness. The Andrews Sisters sure knew what they were talking about with their couplet: "Beat me Daddy, 8 beats to the Bar" followed by "Bounce Me Brother with a Solid 4."
