Podcast Episode 116: Swing! - Part 1

November 29, 2016

In this episode, I have some songs for you from the Swing Era. However, I couldn't limit myself to just five songs, so this is the first of three episodes I will do on swing music. The songs are "Jungle Jitters" by Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra, "Organ Grinder's Swing" by the Jolly Coburn Orchestra, "Old King Cole" by Hod Williams and his Orchestra, "Spinnin' The Webb" by Chick Webb and his Orchestra, and "Sugar Foot Stomp" by Jan Savitt and his Top Hatters.
