I'm assumng you mean in it's original guise?

Mac the knife - Brian Setzer Orchestra / Bobby Darin / Frank Sinatra
Americano - Brian Setzer Orchestra
Sing Sing Sing - Louis Prima
In the mood - Brian Setzer Orchestra / Glenn Miller
Mad Bad Leeroy Brown - Frank Sinatra / Vinnie Jones
Zoot suit riot - Cherry Poppin Daddies

That should do you to be going on with. The A - Z list on this link may help also for some more (http://www.raucousrecords.com/shop/default.asp?subCat=A&cat=CDs+%2D+SWING)

Paul Anka has appeared on a few Pro Discs over the last year, and his version of "Smells Like Teen Sprit" in swing style is pretty good. Maybe worth a listen.

Also, it is worth checking our Grandmaster Swing by Mastermix, as it features artists like Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Doris Day..among others.

I don't know if there is a swing version in the Mastermix Classic Cuts..or if DMC do any equivalent swing cds.
