Krupa, Miller, both Dorseys, so many others. . .I don't know if you've done any checking on YouTube, but there is a host of other material on the big bands there, including assorted "soundies" (short films, much like what we would call a music video today). If you haven't done so, check this out by going to YouTube, and typing in the name of the band or performer (say, Doris Day) in Youtube's search slot, and assorted things will show up. Click on a playlist, and you can play a whole sequence of "Doris Day" or whatever does turn up. Pick the playlists carefully, sometimes you'll get a "tribute" to some performer by a current one (i.e., Christine Aguilira's version of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" instead of the Andrews Sisters'.)
Great soundtrack for a layout set in the 1940s. . .especially if it features early streamliners. . .
At the risk of getting way off topic (these trains don't even have wheels!), I also found this other variant of a "jet train;" I do have to say the afterburner/JATO bottle sequences are spectacular. . .

Now I wonder if we'll hear from a monorail crowd. . .
