My swing dance group has to do a performance and our theme is "Summer".
Are there any good summer swing music that we can use for our performance?
Would really appreaciated if someone can recommend good lively summer swing music.

Few things that come to mind:
Micheal Buble - Summer Wind (pretty swingin version)
Sidney Bechet did a song called "Indian Summer" but it might be a little slow.
Some other songs that have a "summer" feel to them:
Bobby Darin - Sunday in New York
Royal Crown Revue - Sunny Side of the Street
Artie Shaw - Go Fly a Kite
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Mr. Heatmiser (cut out the snowmiser verse)
Bill Haley - Hot Dog Buddy Buddy
Ella Fitzgerald - Too Darn Hot
I hope that helps!!!
