my puter won't let me post anything for some weird reason, so i can only mention a few faves-
"i can't get started" [bunny berrigan]
"willow weep for me" [irene taylor]
"the shivery stomp" [seger ellis, who was married to irene taylor]
"in the mood" [glenn miller]
"clap hands, here comes charlie!" [various artists, an oft recorded tune]
"begin the beguine" [artie shaw]

All good picks, and most I hadn't heard.

30's isn't something I have heard a lot of but I am trying to build an arsenal.

thanx for the youtube posts, wish i could get my machine to cooperate with me. anyways, wasn't irene taylor a dish? as for the version of "clap hands" you liked, a better version was recorded on the organ stop pizza wurlitzer [mesa AZ] by organist charlie balogh, on a CD entitled "clap hands, here comes charlie!" this recording made me get up and cheer like a fool.

some other 30s music you might find appealing, are some organ works by fats waller [he was king of ALL keyboards] including the '37-'38 hmv recordings [at what later became known as abbey road studios] he made in london on a powerful compton theatrical wurlitzer pipe organ, with a jazz pick-up combo on two selections, "ain't misbehaving" and "don't try your jive on me." very tasty stuff. imagine, jazz on the pipe organ.

if you can extend your music-loving scope to the early 40s you can also include fats waller recordings he made on his newly acquired hammond organ [with his jazz combo in accompaniment], including "clarinet marmalade" and "the jitterbug waltz", the latter a very tasty number indeed.

Great!, another excuse to post Allan Jones!

Couldn't find anything worth posting from youtube on charlie balogh, maybe look else where though but time is not there atm.

I like fats wallers music, and have a decent amount from the 40's
If anything would like to go backwards into the 20's

It almost sounds like the instruments are singing...guess that's how they were able to do those old cartoons =)

I love music from the '30s! And the '20s and '40s. There have been some great ones posted here already, a number of personal favorites, so I'll go with ones by artists who haven't been posted yet.

Just about anything by Robert Johnson, or Cole Porter, is great by me, as well as many other artists active in the 1930s

Louis Jordan is the man!
