Continuing on...Swing dance (and music) is making a huge comeback. Michael and I were able to take a swing dance class last year where we learned the "three-step" swing dance.
I'm including a picture of the movie, Swing Kids, because it's one I watched recently that conveys the spirit of the swing culture. I highly recommend that you see this movie- even if you aren't "into" swing.
Please visit the link below to read a one-page history of swing.
Some of her greats include Fever, At Last, What a Difference a Day Made, Paper Moon, It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing and A Fine Romance (last two are duets with Louis Armstrong.)
Most of Frank Sinatra's Songs are good...
Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry singing Midnight Special is one of my favorites. It's more of a folk-sounding Jazz song.
