“Moten Swing” (originally “Moten’s Swing”) is a 1932 jazz standard by Bennie Moten and his Kansas City Orchestra. It was an important jazz standard in the move towards a freer form of orchestral jazz and the development of Swing music. Moten and his Orchestra, which included Count Basie on piano, achieved much success with it, although the song is most associated with Basie’s Count Basie Orchestra, who recorded it in 1940.
