please help me name the jazz/swing tune used here, It's driving me insane!!!!

[alanbaker]

I've been trying to find the title of this song for years, I've searched youtube and typed in swing/jazz - But without a lyric to even assist me, I've been getting no help whatsoever - I just know somebody out there will hear this, and immediately know either who performed it, or the title! I'd be soooo pleased with any leads.

Thanks, just tried that - It's saying that it can't work the music out :-( Thanksfor replying though, I shall contiue with my quest

Only possibilities but try Henry Mancini and also the Rippingtons.

It sounds to me more like a medley of Big Band tunes from the 40's.

Forget all I said. I am e-mailing a link to a friend who is a big swing fan. Hopefully he can help out.

[Mortartube]

I have a feeling that the last one from about 0.56 was used in an advert in the last couple of years, possibly a car ad.

There is the possibility that it may have been specially composed for the ad.

My friend believes it is a modern cover of Sing, Sing,Sing. done by Benny Goodman and many others. Here is Benny Goodmans version. He can't help with the modern artist.

Thanks for your continuing answers - I've looked over almost every sing sing sing cover on youtube and still can't find that particular one. As for it being used just for an advert - I've heard it on several fruit machines and it is piped out of Blackpool Tower - the exact version. I've enquired at the tower - no joy, and also emailed the fruit machine companys - no reply, I suppose they deleted my email straightaway, maybe I should pretend i'm intersted in purchasing something, they might be a bit more helpfull then lol

I think it's ' It don't mean a thing if it aint got that swing'
Originally Duke Ellington which is on you tube.

Hi there, thanks for answering! I've just listened to that on youtube - unfortunately, Although the chords and rythm are similar, it's not the same.... Thanks for taking the time to answer :-)
