East Coast Swing Music

[BlueBambue]

I was wondering if people could give their favorite songs/artists/cd's/etc. to dance ECS to. I am trying to build up a small library of songs, but don't really know where to start. Both tradidtionally swing music and more alternative things with a good rythm would work.

I'm sure there have been threads about this before, but I cannot find them. I would apreciate any links.

Close To You - Stevie Ray Vaughn

My Baby Just Cares For Me - Nina Simone

You Gotta Walk the Chalk Line - Rhythm Rockets

i'm not such a fan of some styles of swing so i tend to pay attention to who the scheduled DJ's are there.

some modern groups/artists which may not be listed there that you might like include:

-jive aces (UK)
-steve lucky & the rhumba bums (fellow U-M grad - and i usually dance a cha-cha steve's real-life wife "carmen getit" whenever i get a chance to see them live).
-royal crown revue
-brian setzer
-barbara morrison (a lindygroove favorite - she sings there live every anniversary)
