[Dixielandjazz] Set list

[Robert Williams]

Although I'm rarely organized enough to do it, I like having a set list just
as an orientation point.  I'm always amazed by the fact that, although I
probably know a few hundred tunes, my brain locks up when I try to think of
one to play.

Though I nearly always diverge from the list, it's reassuring to have
something to diverge FROM, n'est-ce pas?

I like a general alphabetic list because I forget tunes.  I don't like lists

to play from.  One of the guys I work for pulls everything during breaks 
which uses up break time.  By the time we put away the old set and he pulls 
up a set the breaks over.  He likes to play one tune right after another 
where as I like a small break in between so there is time to put away chart 
and get up the next, unless there is a crowded dance floor then you want 
several up.  There usually isn't a problem if you are using head 
arrangements.  I really don't know why he wants to play one after another. I

think that people like to talk between tunes.  One guy I work for is putting

his whole book into five tune sets so that we will play five then take a 
very short break to reload.  This seems to be the better solution.  The 
problem with pulling up an hours set is that you almost always read the 
crowd wrong at some point.  But then again this particular leader does that 
all the time.
