Full Swing--an 80s homage to the big band era featuring Lorraine Feather (daughter of Leonard Feather), Steve March (son of Mel Torme) and Charlotte Crossely (former backup singer to Bette Midler). They do a really great version of "Serenade in Blue" among others. If you like the Manhattan Transfer, early Pointer Sisters, etc., you might want to give them a try.

If they 80s can be considered vintage.... X. Loved them then; love them now. I am going to miss then at the Greek Theater but I am sure it will be a great show. They all look so young in this photograph!

I've never seen or listened to X, but I did see The Bonebrake Syncopators, and I hope to again.
A friend pointed out to me-- the difference between the punk scene in L.A. as compared to NYC or London, was that L.A. had a fair number of good musicians involved.

Oooh, I love the London Swing Orchestra. I've heard of it before, but this is the first time I've seen so much of their music all in one place on YouTube. I'll enjoy this...

You always find the best vintage music, Vic.

EDIT - HELLO my darling! One of my favourite pieces of music, from one of my favourite TV shows!:
