Roll 'Em - Benny Goodman

Benny Goodman and his Orchestra made an appearance in the 1942 film The Powers Girl which features a great scene of guys and gals swing dancing during a rain storm to Benny's rendition of "Roll 'Em."

You can preview/download a pretty kickin' live version from iTunes here... Benny Goodman - Camel Caravan, Vol. 2 - Roll 'Em

If you want something even faster, try the Cootie Williams version... Cootie Williams And His Orchestra - Big Band Jazz, the Jubilee Sessions, 1943 to 1946 - Roll 'Em
