Petunia and the Vipers
They are a band from Canada that plays country swing and they are quite awesome. They came to LA a couple of weeks ago and their album has been all I've listened to since.

They do an *amazing* version of Ragtime Cowboy Joe..

I'm not sure if this counts, but I was watching a YouTube video, and it has some great jazzy tune at the start (also a tune from the film "Le Samourai," one of my favorites, is included later on around the 7 minute point), I have no idea what it's called, or who it's by, but I like it. It's some kind of 1960s go-go or groove jazz or something, I just don't know what it is. Hopefully someone recognizes it, but it may be from a rather obscure Japanese group, anyway:

P.S. The guy who made these videos used almost entirely artists or soundtracks from the mid to late 1960s, just to pinpoint the era that the opening intro music is from, possibly.

Ooh, ain't she though? The only thing I don't like is that the band is so swingin' I keep forgetting to watch her move!

Ina Ray used all Will Hudson arrangements here. Both were contracted to Mills Music, who did a lot of such cross-promoting.

(Untitled Instrumentals) are Hudson originals: #1 Hobo on Park Avenue, #3 Devil's Kitchen, and #5 Jazznocracy.

Right after Ted Husing's announcement you hear about one minute of a murderous up-tempo thing called Earthquake, which several bands tried to record but something always went wrong.
