A couple week ago I picked up a copy of a CD called Big Band Bash (1989) that features many essential tracks from the genre. Most of the songs I was already familiar with, but there were a handful that I wasn't and there were a couple that I wouldn't exactly classify as a part of that genre. Either way all of the songs are all great and needless to say I've been listening to it a lot since I got it. Below I've decided to share two of my favorites which I definitely consider to be essentials of the genre - "Sing, Sing, Sing" by Benny Goodman and His Orchestra (1937) and "Skyliner" by Charlie Barnet and His Orchestra (1944).
I haven't listened to these songs in years! They're still excellent, especially Sing, Sing, Sing.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! :)
DeleteThanks for linking up, Breana.
We've got a lot of Benny Goodman music on Dave's iPod. Always uplifting to hear - I just wish I had learned to dance like they did back then :-)
ReplyDeleteWoot! I know right - that would be awesome to know how to dance like that. :)
DeleteHI Lauren!
ReplyDeleteI've got a couple of Benny Goodman, too! In addition, my author I interviewed for this meme today, chose Ella Fitzgerald as one of her favourite singer/song choices.
Happy Monday!
Yay! So cool - can't go wrong with Fitzgerald. :)
