I have this great collection which is called An Anthology of Big Band Swing 1930-1955 and I really like it. It's sort of obscure though. Here's a link:
http://www.amazon.com/Anthology-Big-Band-Swing-1930-1955/dp/B000003N3T
There are some great recordings on there.
I would just look for compilations like:
Great American Big Bands
Big Band Era Vol. 2
Anthology Of Big Band Swing 1930-1955
A Big Band Christmas

As fun and interesting as the dancing is, the music behind the dance is just as great:

This is where rock and roll came from; if you like rock and roll, you'll probably love this stuff. For folks looking for some good Jump samplers, the best I've ever come across are the two CDs from the Blues Masters collections, volumes 5 and 14:

Not sure if you'd consider it great, but I love the Derek Trucks Band's Live at Georgia Theater album. So much good stuff and all of the songs are the Live Bootleg Version. Here's an Apple Music link, Spotify Link, and Amazon link. So good.
