Recommend me some big band music
Discussion
Depends on which era or style of big band you think he'd like. Jools can run the whole gamut from Louisiana / Delta blues, through swing and boogie woogie.
For middle of the road swing, try Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFP4Hwrl244
For more modern swing, something like the Cherry Poppin Daddies - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IqH3uliwJY
For trad big band, then Glen Miller et al - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR3K5uB-wMA

Great call on Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - that's exactly the kind of up-tempo thing I'm looking for.
Any other similar recommendations appreciated!
Brian Setzer has already been mentioned - he's more rocky, but his previous band, The Stray Cats may be up your alley - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR0NU8MQc_gAny other similar recommendations appreciated!
BBVD have several albums out and they're all corking - here's another - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYN3HotlfrE
Royal Crown Revue would be another alternative - gangster swing! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLTqhbh4Ng8
