So i'm driving home from work today and I hit the "search" button on the radio. I came across a station playing Big Band and swing. Now, i'm an old school rock guitar player but i've always loved different music. Well, this music had me boppin down the highway like a kid with his first Beatles record!
I was totally digging the music as well as the lyrics. Like a strange sense of irony... "I'm screwed but i'm happy as a clam anyhow"!!
Pops was all about Glen Miller so I know to look there. I like The Brian Setzer Orchestra too so I know what he's about. Can anyone recommend some Big Band music?? Scat?? Swing?? Doesn't have to be old either...i'll bet there are current bands that adhere to tradition.
Thanks in advance, Rob
