My Baby Just Cares for Me - Nat King Cole and Woody Herman - vocal duet.

Great side in which they sing solo and in harmony together.

Hey, Pete! Let's Eat Mo' Meat! - Dizzy Gillespie Big Band - c. 1949
Will big bands ever come back?

Yes, that's the one. Though, that sample misses the main chorus which is my favorite part. It sounds like something out of a Loony Toons cartoon (which it may have been adapted for at some point, not sure though).

Ballin' the Jack; South Side Jazz Serenaders; 2006; Livin' High [Stomp Off 1420]

If you, like me, love bands like the Washboard Rhythm Kings and the Georgia Washboard Stompers, you should get the whole album, because the South Side Jazz Serenaders, recorded here in 2006, sound like a Hi-Fi version of those bands on many of the tracks, and it's all live, which only adds to the intensity of the playing.

If you, like me, love Sidney Bechet, you should get this album, because Thomas Winteler is a very good player in the tradition of said man.

I bought the album after looking at the track listing on Worldsrecords, liking what I saw, and this is one of the best gut feeling buys I've ever made.

Too Many Loves to Name, But Here Are A Few

Everybody loves my baby - I've heard so freakin many versions of this song and I ABSOLUTELY love it... My favorite has to be from the Wiyos, though.. a group out of NYC that plays a swingin' jug band version of it.. you can find them on CDbaby.


24 Robbers - Fats Waller - ever since I saw the awesome performance by Sky and Frida to this song on youtube, I have had an obsession... it's a beautifully orchestrated and fun number!!

Lindyhopper's Delight - I don't care that it's been played a billion times, it's still the most badass lindy song EVER!

Sugarfoot Rag - Ella put this one together in the 50's but it still retains all the awesome swing we came to expect from her in the 30's and 40's! If you haven't heard it, you MUST check it out!!
