Shorty Rogers with the Andre Previn orchestra, plus a Jim Flora cover--works for me.

Babs
A collection of music from bop scat artist Babs Gonzalez? With back up artists such as Sonny Rollins, Tadd Dameron, Benny Green and James Moody? Yes, please. And Oop-Bop-a-Da.

Pachuco Boogie

Sample a tasty collection of small combo Mexican-American boogie/blues/bebop/mambo circa late 40s/50s, guaranteed to get the lingering aftertaste of those Tennessee Tacos (see below) out of your mouth. Courtesy of Audio Design Studio.

Sil-ja-Bloo and lots more

What fun to discover an unknown (to me) be-bop scat singer--check out the chops of Sweden's Gunnar Nilson I found at The 78RPM Blog--the back-up combo works for me, too. I also found some other interesting oddities, ranging from the country song "Shut and Drink Your Beer" to the "Snarkologi" (Tell me how you snore and I'll tell you who you are) to the sad tale of Swedish singer Ernst Rolf who didn't quite mean to kill himself.

Ha!

Classic commercialized white-boy be-bop (not that that's a bad thing) from Charlie Ventura, recorded in 1949. Backup by Bennie Green, Conte Candoli, and vocals credited to Jackie & Roy (though the second male voice on Ha! sounds like Dave Lambert to me) with cover art by Jim Flora. Get all 4 songs on the EP For Boppers Only here.
