Favorite Swing Pieces?

[Angelicious]

Well, I'm a jump blues gal, primarily, but I love most music of the period. I'm a singer, not a dancer, so I prefer character pieces, or the fast, loud, jumping stuff that I can really get my teeth into. I'm not a purist; I value both original and retro-revival for their own sakes and sounds.

Fav songs:
Billie Holliday - Swing, Brother, Swing
Cab Calloway - Jumpin' Jive
- We The Cats Shall Hep Ya-
- San Francisco Fan-
Louis Jordan - Five Guys Named Moe
What's The Use of Gettin' Sober (When You're Gonna Get Drunk Again)
Cootie Williams - Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby
Woody Herman - Caldonia
Charlie Barnet - Share Croppin' Blues
Stuff Smith - Here Comes The Man With The Jive
Lil Green - Why Don't You Do Right
Dinah Washington - Evil Gal Blues
Tiny Bradshaw - Shout Sister Shout
Andy Kirk - Hey Lawdy Mama
Gene Krupa - Knock Me A Kiss
Dean Martin - Ain't That A Kick In The Head
Frank Sinatra - One For My Baby
- Somewhere Beyond The Sea
Joe Jackson - You Run Your Mouth (And I'll Run My Business Brother)
- You're My Meat
- Jack, You're Dead!
Cherry Poppin' Daddies - When I Change Your Mind
- Brown Derby Jump
- Drunk Daddy
- Cherry Poppin' Daddy Strut
Royal Crown Revue - Hey Pachuco!
Robbie Williams & Jon Lovitz - Well Did You Evah
Robbie & Rupert Everett - They Can't Take That Away From Me
Robbie & Jonathan Wilkes - Me & My Shadow

Yeah, I can hear the purists choking by the end of the list...

I love anything I can charleston to (not that I really know how to Charleston!)
