I didn't stop there since I was especially obsessed with the 20's and 30's sound. On Napster I was also able to find:
Heebie Jeebies by Louis Armstrong
Jumpin Pumpkins and Haunted Nights by Duke Ellington
Chaing Gang by Bob Crosby
That Old Black Magic by Dizzie Gillespie
The list can go on if you've got the time to wade throught he muck of the past 80 years. I found the above searching by the names of the above groups, suggested similar groups, or by Halloween words like Pumpkin, Haunted, etc...
Good Luck..!!!!
