well im playing bass in a swing band
and the teacher that runs it keeps telling me i have to get the feel of the music
and feel the rythym

im asking what good jazz albums can i get
that have good basslines
just for me to get into the "Swing" of things

Anything that Ray Brown played on.

Count Basie's bands, those guys swung hard. They'll give you a great sense of ensemble work.

+1 any Count Basie record. Also check out Thad Jones for a different take on swing.

I would try to get to play with other musicians that "swing" that way I guess it all may just be easier.
Ray Brown, ron carter, Paul chambers etc etc etc.
