Undeniably taking inspiration from the swinging legends of the Jazz Age, contemporary swing bands have been performing swing jazz, as well as writing their own pieces based on that inspiration. Let's take a listen to some of the original pieces that have been written and performed by these artists from the past 20 years.
I've been having technical difficulties of late, and my microphone is not up to the task of recording, so this week is strictly musical.
