    So many good songs... I shall list just a few of my current favorites:

    1) Lionel Hampton's Orchestra - Lavendar Coffin

    2) Martin Sexton - 13 Step Boogie

    3) Lester Young with Oscar Peterson - Two to Tango

    4) Anything by Ella Fitzgerald...

    Of course, if you are looking for big band music, I like Django Reinhardt and of course Duke Ellington.

    Some of my fave songs to dance to are:

    In a mellow tone by Ella

    Temptation by Diana Krall

    for my blues side

    Lavendar Coffin (same as Buzz)

    Mister 5 by 5 (who's that by Buzz-the version you play)

    for my lindy side

    And

    Everybody got that something (Erik has this one in his ipod - sorry I don't dj like Buzz so I don't know all the artists)

    for my west coast side

    And it really depends on your defintion of blues. ElChuy blues, yes. Normal blues, not really.
