Swing releases, week 40

· 5 releases

This week's swing releases explore global influences and historical recordings, from Louis Armstrong's performances in Ghana reimagined in Queens to Duke Ellington's early Harlem sessions. The spotlight also shines on overlooked moments in jazz history, including a rare Brownstone cover of an Eagles hit and a centenary tribute to Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang's string-driven blues. Bart&Baker pay homage to Francisco with a new release blending Latin and swing elements. These works reflect the genre's enduring reach and rich cross-cultural dialogue.
