Swing Vol 1 (Color HD)

When you mentioned the word Jazz to the average person, they probably think of Swing music, and for good reason. Swing was hugely popular - in fact, it was the pop music of the 1930’s. It was mostly performed by Big Bands, which were large orchestras divided into trumpets, saxophones, trombones, and a rhythm section (which consisted of the drums, bass, guitar and piano). And they played dance music. Above all else, Swing music is dance music - which means it was:
Simple;
Had clear melodies; and
A strong beat.
This also meant it was incredibly commercial.
Swing is sandwiched between two huge historical events. The Great Depression, which started with the stock market crash in 1929, and WWII which ended in 1945. So the Swing Era was during the Depression - and it acted as a kind of counter-statement or rebellion against the unemployment and misery that the Depression caused. It served to distract people from the daily grind of reality.
