Click on any link if you're interested in purchasing a CD.
Here's are the CD's that I consider to be essential to my swing collection (alphabetical
by artist):
And here are all the other swing CD's I own (alphabetical by artist)
Some of these I purchased, and some were given to me in thanks for my web pages/e-mail list.
- You're Driving Me Crazy -- Shelly Burns and Avalon Swing
- Jump -- Casey Macgill and the Spirits of Rhythm
- Zoot -- Zoot
And finally, here are swing CD's I definitely want to add to my collection as funds
allow:
Just Wanna Swing -- Steven Mitchell
and the Hollywood Hepcats -- it has 14 mid-tempo tunes that lindy hoppers crave to hear
and dance to. It is a must for serious dancers. Support Steven and his effort to bring decent and danceable music for dancers who are
tired of music that is too fast or too slow.
