I'm a huge Count Basie fan, but his contemporaries like Bennie Goodman and Glenn Miller leave me cold. None of them swing hard like the Count; they all seem to be more syrupy and pop with more ballads and easy listening type stuff. Cab Calloway is a better, but no Count.
But I'm sure there are other hard swinging big bands out there. Can anyone point me to some?
