Swing!!! I don't mind jazz with quirky time signatures, but where's the dance gone?
Electro swing is now (still) a thing. It's out there on the internet. As with most of these genres based on some manner of synthetic zeitgeist, be prepared to be exposed to a lot of anime tiddies in the artwork, though.
Great choice. Big Band in general would be nice, too.
I'm with the other comment, Electro Swing is very popular. If you've ever got the chance to go to a Parov Stelar concert don't even think about not going! Top 5 concerts I've ever seen easily.
I've listened to a bunch of Caravan Palace, and I'm sure Parov Stelar is in some playlists. I never thought about going to a gig, I do a bunch of Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, but they're general jazz.
Edit, I've got All Night- Parov Stelar in my favourites.
Fortunately due to living in Belgium I'm in close proximity to some of the best festivals in the world. I saw them supported by a live orchestra at Dour Festival. But it was very similar to this performance a year later!
