If you are talking about the real big band swing:

Some essential recordings of Duke Ellington:
The Duke at Fargo
Ellington at Newport
Far East Suite
...and His Mother Called Him Bill

There's also Count Basie:
The Complete Original American Decca Recordings

And Art Tatum (not a big band though):
Classic Early Solos (1934-1937)
The Chronogical Classics: Art Tatum 1932-1934
