Check out Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Brian Setzer (new), some of the classics... I am not sure if it is pure swing, jazz, boogie or what, but it all sounds similar. Jazz might be a little slower though.

If he wants swing slow jazz will not do.

Amen. I like Louie and Duke and all that, but they're hardly swing I guess. I haven't heard new Brian Setzer but I hear its big band?

Also if you know any "modern" rockabilly (or whatever) a'la Kings of Nuthin', I'd like to hear about it, too.

Brian Setzer Orchestra does swing, his cd's are pretty listenable generally speaking so I guess I suggest him.

Edit: Also - Cherry Poppin Daddies also apperently do swing. I remember "Zoot Suit Riot" being popular when I was in middle school.

Swing?

It's one of those things they have in playgrounds on wich you sit, and have your mommy/daddy/random person push you back and forth...great fun

I don't know if this is Swing, but I really like that song from Pulp Fiction, Flowers in the wall by The Statler Brothers or something like that. Does that qualify?

Posted: **Tue Jul 25, 2006 8:08 am**

Statler Brothers are DEFINETLY country. They're like Barbershop country or something.

Mingus ++

Swing, IDM...y'all are stuck in the '90s.

Brian Setzer is kind of a swing-big-band-rock hybrid, but he's even recorded merengue standards, so whatever. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy were kind of a fluke, weren't they?

Posted: **Tue Jul 25, 2006 3:44 pm**

Swing originated in the 40s, I think

Posted: **Tue Jul 25, 2006 3:53 pm**

Yes, but it made a brief comeback (along with ska) in the late '90s.

Posted: **Tue Jul 25, 2006 4:10 pm**

and then, just as fast it, faded away. It was popular again from like 97-99? If that long.

Brian Setzer is a mixed bag, he has alot of swing songs, alot of 50's-esque rock songs, and big band songs. If you enjoy all 3, he's your man though, especially since all 3 genres sound pretty similar from most listerners standpoints.

I'm listening to some '90s right now.

Also, Curtis Mayfield is funk. What the hell.
