Swing!
Episode 6 – Swing Into Romance
Happy Valentine’s Day! I have created a special episode of Swing! featuring some of the best love songs from the swing era, sung & swung by some of the greatest artists of the twentieth century: Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby & The Mills Brothers, The Andrews Sisters, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald & Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Mel Torme, Joe Williams, Lester Young & Oscar Peterson, Anita O’Day, Carmen McRae, Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson, Natalie Cole, Harry Connick, Jr. & Chet Baker.
Eighteen of the most romantic jazz songs of all time brought to you by the best that ever swung them. I hope they put a song in your heart and a swing in your step! If you don’t have a sweetheart, or are not in a particularly romantic mood right now – don’t worry, the show will still be around to download when you do . . . permanently located at SoulandJazz.com
Agape ya’ll,
