Question

Looking for genre names so I can find more music like these, if you have recommendations, they're more than welcome. I NEED MORE MUSIC

These first two are pretty similar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kQSFyq6mac Bourbon Street by Jeff Tuohy

Next there's this cover of Seven Nation Army that I'm in LOVE with. I would very much like to know what this vocal style is called. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB6HY8r983c

Answer 1

These songs are all modern variations on the early jazz styles that came out of New Orleans in the 1920s and 30s. The vocal style is "jazz singing" or "vocal jazz". Billie Holiday is usually considered the best-ever jazz singer. Diana Krall is a popular modern jazz singer. As the video itself notes, this particular song is in the style of a New Orleans' dirge, the more somber of the two traditional accompaniments to the distinctive New Orleans style funeral.

Some good search terms are "hot jazz", "Dixieland" and "swing," optionally with the modifier "modern." You can also try "neo-swing" and "swing revival."

Here are some sample results with those search terms:

• hot jazz
• modern hot jazz
• modern Dixieland
• swing revival / neo swing
