Re: What are you Trying to Say?
Just getting it in under the wire, aren't you? :) A source for that first song would be helpful. Off hand, I don't recognize the lyrics. It reminds me a lot of Tuxedo Junction in feel, but I didn't sit down to see whether the chords match. The vocalist has listened to Dizzy Gillespie and Joe Carroll...

Re: Songs with whistling
For the Lindy Hop Heaven CD, send Jesse (JesseMiner) a PM, and I think he can get you in touch with Peter Davis. As for whistling: Brother Bones' "Sweet Georgia Brown" is a classic. Do the short riffs in Louis Prima's recording of "Whistle Stop" count? That was a super popular tu...

Re: Copyright issues
I suggest contacting Jeff Kaufman, the producer of that Chick Webb documentary that was completed a few years ago and has still only been shown, like, twice. (I'm not annoyed.)

Happy birthday, Ella!
Ella Fitzgerald would have turned 101 today.

That MC waffles on for a full minute before the music starts. For future reference, you can make people's lives easier by including a timestamp in your YouTube URLs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVdeh09OTBU&t=0m51s

Re: Song from a Instagram video
NGNGNGNNNNgggnngngnngnfff.... I am humming along marvelously, but I can't place it. I think it's a thing Basie once recorded, too, or at least strongly reminiscent of a Basie thing, but that's not tremendously helpful, is it? Edit: I take it back. Now I'm just hearing a bit from Lunceford's "Fo...

[Answered] Duck Trot, Naomi and Her Handsome Devils
The song is "Duck Trot". The Cab Calloway original is slower and...better.
Band looks like Naomi (Uyama) and Her Handsome Devils.

Re: Suggestion for swing chinese song for coming Chinese New
The only two tracks I have with lyrics in Chinese, both in a mix of Mandarin and English, are two versions of "I Want You to Be My Baby" (translated as "我要你的爱"/"Wo yao ni de ai"/"I want your love"): one is the Grace Chang 1957 recording, the other is a 2000 co...
