Swing compilations

[Steve LeBlanc]

Got a Bride and groom asking for swing...

I've got a lot of 30's 40' 50's......
For contemporary, I have Setzer, Cherry Popping daddies, Colin James

Can anyone recommend some titles/specific artists or compilation albums...

Thanks....

 

[Jon Tuck]

let me look at my CD collections Steve all my stuff is on Drive but not album seperated

 

[Papa Deuce]

Well, for more contemporary, look at the "Swing This" series.

 

[DJ Wes]

Also, look at 'In a Digital Mood'. Glen Miller stuff redone perfectly - in hi-fi.

 

[Audio One]

I like this one.:tribiggrin:

 

[Papa Deuce]

Oh, more artists..... Royal Crown Revue, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Indigo Blue, Johnny Favourite Swing Orchestra ( we walked in to a song from this guy at our wedding ).

 

[SoftJock Rick]

Well, you can't go wrong with Jive Bunny.

I also have the whole set of Larry Elgart & His Manhattan Swing Orchestra, Hooked on Swing I & II & III, Hooked on Polkas, and I forget what else -- everything is packed right now.

Imelda May is my favorite right now. Great new artist! She is more Rockabilly, but with a swing attitude.

Ok, so now I need to find out who Imelda May is......

Wasn't she the Philippine ruler in law that had a shoe fetish?

 

[Papa Deuce]

OK, I just listened to 2 songs on youtube... not bad. There are many that are much better.

So -so. Basically sounds like James Bond themes to me.

Not saying she sucks, but just not what I would call swing. I'll give an Amy Winehouse award...

Please share who those 'much better' artists are. I'm always looking for new talent.

Go find the Swing This CDs. Many songs are true swing, but lots with a rockabilly twist.
