i just want some good swing'ish music so that i can work and listen, what i want is that there would be some parts that are solo and most music, i just want the music, so any languages would be fine,
here's a sample of what i would like, i think it's japanese

the swing is very important, i don't want it to be too dark or mostly solo, non-singed is also fine,
has to include: drums, bass, piano (in some form)

Your sample may be Japanese, but it is NOT SWING! It is "funk" and would be called "smooth jazz" by many.

I would recommend a free jazz radio site on the internet called Accujazz:
http://www.accujazz.com/
While there are other good jazz sites, Accujazz is so well organized, so easy to use (user friendly) and offers so many preset channels that a beginner can immediately get started with it. They have, for instance, channels for each decade, channels for each instrument, composer channels, jazz festival channels, style channels. It is so well organized and nicely laid out that you can't wait to start listening to something. I frequently listen to the "Groove Jazz" channel and it includes a lot of swing. For the last couple of hours since I read your question, I have been listening to the "Straight Ahead" channel which is mostly dedicated to swing style. Everything I have heard has included at least "drums, bass, piano (in some form)". You might also want to try the "piano", "bass" or "drums" channels, There is a lot of swing featured there, but not other styles are represented.

I love Accujazz because no matter what kind of mood I am in, there is a channel set up to meet my mood! But one of the best things about Accujazz is that it plays in its own player window and you can even close your browser, work on some other software and still listen to Accujazz. You don't have to continuously have to select songs. Just select a channel and it will literally play all day long. You can change channels directly from the player window.


P.S. "YouTube" at http://www.youtube.com/ also features a lot of swing. If you search, for example, for "piano trio swing", you would probably find what you want. YouTube is not quite as "user friendly" as Accujazz and you have to pay more frequent attention to it and (even after a long multi-track video) click on the next video to play. It is more helpful when you are seeking a specific song..
