Good stuff. Just ordered this, and the other CD 'Drummer Goes to Town'.

A band I discovered in a Jazz shop in London is 'Skeets Tolbert and His Gentlemen of Swing'
The 1931-1940 CD is excellent, and the sound quality is not bad -

You'll have to tell me how "Drummer goes to Town" is. I have yet to find it for a price i wanted to pay.

Just got it - I wouldn't really recommend it. The 'Swing is the Thing' CD seems to have better material and be better for dancing, from listening to the samples via allmusic. The sound quality on 'Drummer goes to Town' is very good though. And there are some lovely slow numbers like the jazzy blues 'Moonglow'.

Just fallen in love with Benny Carter's
'Blue Interlude', track 25 on this CD set -

I love the slow lilting rhythm, and this is a number that's great for listening OR dancing.

"Shake That Jelly Roll" - J.C. Cobb & His Grains of Corn, from a CD called Chicago Black Small Bands
The solo in the break at 0:40 is mind-boggling and awesome!

Is
this the tune you're talking about?

Yes, and that's the break! If you hear it in context, the syncopation is remarkable.

"Shout 'em Aunt Tillie", Duke Ellington
When I played it last night two people came up to ask what it was.

I recently found Some old Ray charles that I'd never heard before, and the song I'll Do Anything But Work (unknown take) from the album "swing time Jive" its a very relaxed fun song, almost reminiscent Of some of the better Fats Waller stuff.

I love this song. A Melbourne band called
The Red Hot Rhythmakers do a really top notch version of it live.

I love the Red Hot Rhythmakers. We had them visit Munich last year, and they were awesome. I think they were sold out on one of their CDs after their Munich stop, despite having some more tour stops in Europe...

Right now I'm obsessed with the song 'Everybody does it now'. I first heard it on the latest Abigail Washburn ep.

Then I realised Martha Copeland's version is the best-known.
Then I found a Helen Humes version.
This really is my favourite sort of music. Now I need to learn more about Martha Copeland!
