Here are the easy ones:
1. The tune is "Blue Lou" but I don't think it's Goodman
2. "Savoy" - Lucky Millinder
3. "Softly as in a Morning Sunrise" - Artie Shaw (much faster than usual)
4. "Undecided" not sure of the artist
5. "Lindyhopper's Delight" - Chick Webb
6. "Big John's Special" - Mills Blue Rhythm Band
7. "Joshua fit de Battle of Jericho" - Kid Ory
8. "Diga Diga Do" - Artie Shaw
10. "Ridin' a Riff" - Earl Hines
That leaves artists for 1 & 4 and tunes + artists for 9, 11, & 12.

Don't worry, one day there will come a time when you can name off all these song by ear. These are all essentially standards to many a swing DJ... especially when it comes to contest music.

One of my favorite instrumental versions of Blue Lou is by the Metronome All Stars - it is a staple in my competition music bag. Check it out.

Just to make this clear: The Ella live at Savoy 1939-1940 CD is actually all instrumentals - Ella was leading the band at the time and can be heard shouting in the background now and then, but she's not singing. It's a great album - highly recommended.

Hey guys, i wanted to know if you guys could name that specific version of Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho. I found this Sidney Bechet version which is incredible but now i would like to start listening to this version but I cannot find it. It doesn't seem to be Kid Ory.... any help?

There's more than one Kid Ory version - I think it's the one from
