Probably all of you here are familiar with the classics of jazz and big band music. This page is to direct you to sites where you can obtain them, or to contemporary musicians of the same quality.

Michael Andrew & Swingerhead
You can hear clips of his hep music on his site. Andrew is one of the best big band musicians of today!

The Studebakers
An Austin, TX band that plays classic swing music beautifully. Four tracks can be downloaded at the site.

Dave's True Story
I'm especially fond of the song "Sequined Mermaid Dress". Not altogether retro in tone, but still our sort of music.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddies

Stray Cats

Harry Connick Jr.

Diana Krall

Dismuke's Virtual Talking Machine
"This site is devoted to vintage music from the early decades of the 20th Century. All recordings have been transcribed into streaming Real Audio from the original 78 rpm discs in my personal collection. It is my hope that this site will help further the creation of a new generation of enthusiasts for an exciting, vibrant and, sadly, all but forgotten era of American popular culture."

Violet Crown Radio
"The Violet Crown Radio Players are Austin’s premiere old time radio re-creation troupe! Whether we’re recreating the Golden Age of Radio or performing all-new RetroVintage radio shows, we are dedicated to keeping the spirit of radio drama alive and well for modern audiences."
