Don’t forget Neal Hefti, Gordon Jenkins, Billy May, Glenn Miller and a host of others in that genre

That’s a great list. And George Martin also rates a “possibly the greatest” nod.

You should know about this station, Saturday and Sunday
“Swing time” with Johnny Magnus, 7-10 AM. https://kkjz.org/

He is repetitive at times, plays too much of Nat Cole, which is great, and too much of Diana Krall, who was never a part of that genre and cannot sing, but talks while whispering.
Worth a listen if you have time early on the weekends.
