I heard it as SW feel.

The clue for that is when the quarter note beats are easily found to be divisible by 3's and not 2's.

Rep;lay the given example and count each beat as a triplet in your head along with her and the band. That's Swing Feel.

Swing Feel is when the notes written as standard 8th notes are actually played like tied triplets over one beat, with the first 8th being the one with the two tied notes in feel.

"Doo-bee, Doo-bee, Doo-bee" kinda thing, rather than what we call "straight 8ths).

And, you were dead on by calling Stray Cat Strut, also divisible by threes, denoting the SW feel.

Being as the performer was Eva, well, she played just about *everything* she possibly could with Swing Feel...
