Jazz:swingin, groovin modern big band recordings.

One of my favorites is ,Lavay Smith & her Red Hot Skillet Lickers,

Wayne Bergeron (Tpt) has released 2 stellar CD's: "Plays Well With Others" & "You Call This A Living?". The dude's been around forever, used to be Maynard Ferguson's lead trpt player (which speaks volumes if your familiar with Maynard). A real studio playa on the west coast, he's played with everybody and anybody (pretty sure he's in Goodwin's Phat band). Treat yourself and do what I did, buy both his records at once, it's like getting a spectacular Big Band double album!!;)

One more suggestion: Phil Kelly and the Santa Ana Winds "My Museum".
