Gregory Street Vagabonds Rochester, New York
Gregory Street Vagabonds are a vintage jazz & swing band based in Rochester, New York. The band is a mix of Lindy Hop dancers and musicians who’ve come together to take part in this jubilant and energetic musical style. We especially love music from the 1930’s and 1940’s, love to play for dancing, and build our sets for maximum Lindy Hop-ability. ... more

Spreadin' Rhythm Around
by Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five
One of the best "classic swing" bands there is, at the height of their arranging and performing skills. Exciting, energetic, and guaranteed good dancing.

Pass The Bounce

This Year's Kisses
by Brooks Prumo Orchestra
supported by 22 fans who also own “Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me”
The laid-back groove of the Brooks Prumo Orchestra hits the sweet spot. This is fine swing without any try-hard hype. The studio mix is balanced, and it hops and slides like music should (unlike some other contemporary jazz). "Out of Nowhere" is outstanding: inspired arrangement, knockout playing, genuine emotion. The vocal numbers get better with every listen, and "Blue Lester" has about it a certain sunburn-on-your-skin mint julep nighttime ease.

Forged in Rhythm
by Keenan McKenzie
supported by 19 fans who also own “Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me”
I love this ENTIRE album!!! How to chose a favourite (Well Read Baby?!) Keenan's album is a tour de force of songs that were written now, but he's so totally internalized the style that they sound like they are from another century! The musicianship, arrangements, and the voice of Laura Windley are great. This is my fave vocal showing from Laura, too! (and she has lots of great records) Can't recommend this highly enough
