Do you have any favourite tunes? Share them with the swingin' world! :)

Some of mine are...
Vem Vet by Lisa Ekdahl - A swinging song with sweet lyrics about love and fate.

Love Me or Leave Me by Sammy Davis Jr. It just rocks :). I think I liked it more after seeing Thomas and Max parody a Kevin and Carla routine. :P

Big John Special by Benny Good Goodman for thumping goodness

and

King Porter Stomp by Benny Goodman. It sounds like the prog-rock of swing to me :)

Exactly the same with me. I find that seeing a great interpretation of a track helps a lot to gain a better understanding of it...

Anyway: a few of my current favourite tracks:

Blues my Naughty Sweetie Gives to Me - Sidney Bechet. Although there does seem to be a worrying tendency to overplay it (three nights running at Rock Bottoms? Hmmm)
Splanky, in all its various incarnations
C Jam Blues - Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra
Rockhouse - Ray Charles (also a great teaching track)
Le Jazz Hot - Jimmy Lunceford
Swing Lover - Indigo Swing
Apollo Jump - Lucky Millinder
Lindyhoppers' Delight - Chick Webb
Nightmare - Artie Shaw
