I've been listening to Michael Bubble's "It's time" at work this days.

While I would guess that the dude is more MTV than anything but the type of music is surely quite soothing and relaxing as I listen to them during work.

It takes the stress out, therefore I'm looking for more "big band" (I'm guessing this is the correct genre) singers that I could add to my rotation.

Can you guys recommend a particular album or a singer that I can try out?

Thanks.

How about Frank Sinatra?

DrMaddVibe · 05-18-2005, 08:28 AM

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Glenn Miller
Tommy Dorsey
Royal Crown Revue
Squirrel Nut Zippers
Cherry Pimpin' Daddies
Harry Connick Jr.
Spike Jones
Brian Setzer

Cherry POPPIN' Daddies.

For a slight derivation look for Michael Brecker's CD's from the late 1980's and early 1990's. He did a lot of contemporary work with a big band. It's good stuff.

Was Not Was, as I understand, was/is a good sized band, too.
Old Duke Ellington and Count Basie would work as well.

Then there's:

Louie Prima!

Lou Monte

Perry Como

Dean Martin

OOOOH
Louis Prima. Yeah. How could we ever forget him.

If you really want to mellow out in "old time" singers/bands, you can give a listen to Jerry Vale.

He is soo hot on campus right now. Def holding his own against a lot of the rap/pop reg. stuff
