Description

Swing music is a style of jazz that became popular in the 1930s and 1940s. It is characterized by a strong rhythm section, usually consisting of piano, drums, and double bass, and a horn section that plays melody and harmony. Swing music is known for its energetic and danceable rhythms, and often features improvisation and solos from the musicians. Famous swing musicians include Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Glenn Miller. The swing era had a significant impact on American popular music and culture, and its legacy can still be heard in modern jazz and other genres.
