Who are the great American swing players?

[Victor Saumarez]

Carl Kress, Lonnie Johnson, Eddie Lang, Eddie Durham and Charlie
Christian, plus many others.

[Campus FIve]

Allen Reuss - an amazing rhythm guitar player who played with Benny
Goodman, who also played awesome chordal solos. He studied with George
Van Eps, but had less compositional, more rippin' style.

Al Casey - played with Fats Waller. He played both single-note and
chordal solos, and was featured on the tune "Buck Jumpin.'"

I'll add more later.

Lest we not forgot George Barnes!
