Uh oh! I cannot believe someone started a thread solely dedicated to BB and swing music! I could break out in song ... "heaven, I'm in heaven ..."
I may contribute a bit of history now and then ... I am a dancer, and swing (not east coast ... yawn ... but Lindy Hop) ... is my favorite ... and I learned from a master, an original, a man who is a piece of history, Frankie Manning. The music came about FOR the dancers. And I have some contributions to make here. From my tastes and perspectives. Mitmo, ya captured it (for me). You go, hon!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() *running to YouTube ...* ![]() |

I too grew up on this music. My mother came of age during this era. So....not only was it always heard in our house, she taught me to dance in our living room.
My favorite..... |

...with stills of classic Hollywood 'pearls' - they just don't make women like that anymore!! Such beauty, elegance, and sexiness, but always with Class!

This is Frankie (the old cat in the blue shirt) teaching a line dance called the shim sham ... he took this dance all across the world.

One place to get da music ...
http://www.downhomemusic.com/ Down Home Music is in El Cerrito, CA. It's a great place where, unlike most, you can actually ask someone about a specific genre' of music and, THEY KNOW! Each employee has a particular area, or genre, that they know really well. They are great on the phone, you can order on phone or on line. They have an EXTENSIVE vinyl record collection in the back. They do not solely sell BB/swing. They sell C&W, World Music, etc. Just not pop, rap, or whatever is currently played on the radio. Great resource ... that is under threat of closure due to hard economic times. If you think that you'd like to purchase music, please consider Down Home Music. |

Thank you for posting that Tito Puente! I had heard of him but don't know much about him. I am looking forward to what I find!
