Swing Artists

Swing music began around the late 1920s and early 1930s, when it really took off, in the United States. Swing is a style of jazz music, to which its name came from its significant ‘off-beat’ style. There would usually feature soloists who would make a melody improvisation over the whole piece.

The most popular composers of the swing era were: Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Lionel Hampton, Harry James, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, and Django Reinhardt.
