Rhythm King would win, of course.

I like how the swingology students clap on 1 and 3, then turn it around to 2 and 4 (at the cut around 0:54).
Reminds me of a World Saxophone Quartet show I attended in Regensburg, if in reverse. Julius got the crowd clapping at about 80 beats per minute, then played against them as if they were clapping 2 and 4; slowly, more and more, claps (and foot stomps) could be heard on 1 and 3; until, finally, all fell on 1 and 3. The backbeat had been vanquished. (If only the tune had been “I Got Rhythm”…)

At least a singing student isn’t texting

Nuh uh. Bix was never as lively as the soundtracks to Looney Tunes cartoons.

Well, how about a little Willie Hall?

That’s really good.

This does not swing, however it has wormed its way into my head to a frightening degree:
Laurel and Hardy sing The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.

Who knew Stan Laurel had such a range?

Wow. Willie Hall. Who knew?
