Don't overlook the other swing ... Western Swing, from Bob wills and the Texas Playboys to Lyle Lovett and His Large Band.

You can add Wayne "The Train" Hancock to that group, as a modern, keeping the western swing torch lit, disciple.
 
Fun thread! I like lots of those already listed but here are some great ones not already mentioned.

Can't forget about Django! I love the uke version of minor swing on YouTube...I just can't quite get the chromatic run at speed.
