31 mixes with tracks by “Ethel+Waters”

Swing sessions are pub nights that focus on great tunes from the jazz age. It's about all the lovely tunes that may get skipped for social swing dance settings. But this music deserves to be played in public for anyone to enjoy, that's why we invented swing sessions. And sure, the era had more dances than lindy hop. Here's some tracks from my set at the 4th Swing Session.

Eight tracks including music by Dorsey Brothers Orchestra, Enoch Light & the Charleston City All Stars, and Wingy Manone & his Orchestra.
