******************** THE ORIGIN & HISTORY OF SWING JAZZ MUSIC ********************
Swing music, or simply Swing, is a type of American dance music which emerged in the early part of the 1930s and achieved its status as a distinctive music style the 1940s. Swing traces its roots to jazz and utilizes a strong rhythm section of drums and double bass as the support for a lead section of woodwinds including clarinets and saxophones, brass instruments such as trombones and trumpets, and at certain times stringed instruments such as guitar and violin. Swing is also characteristic of medium to fast tempos and a "lilting" swing time rhythm.
The term “swing” was derived from the phrase “swing feel” where the main focus is on the weaker or off–beat pulse in the music, in contrast to classical music. Swing bands often performed with soloists who would do an ad-lib on the melody over the arrangement.
Notable Swing jazz musicians include Benny Goodman, Ben Webster, Bunny Berigan, Jimmy Blanton, Gloria Parker, Nat King Cole, Sonny Greer, Toots Camarata, Hal Kem, Cab Calloway, Oscar Aleman, Art Van Damme, Martha Tilton, Bea Wain, Helen Ward, The Andrews Sisters, Buddy Rich, and Gene Krupa.
