Wow, that's great! Then you definitely understand and have an appreciation for the enduring nature of swing music. It can be so much fun! It's definitely worth it to spend some time on YouTube digging up old recordings of these songs and exploring the genre further. This music is perfect for movie soundtracks.
Oh absolutely, swing/big band music is fantastic (and dancing to it is a lot of fun, too! 😄) I have a Spotify account, so I’ll be listening to some albums on there -- starting with Benny Goodman 🎺
I love Swing Kids! I even purchased the soundtrack after I first saw the movie as a teen. I think it might be time for a rewatch 😄

Fun!!
Love this list. I just watched Whiplash. Good for a deep dive into the heart that goes into jazz.
Nice! Thank you 🤗
