SWING MUSIC originated during the period of the 1930’s depression through the 1940’s in the U.S. featuring notable arrangers such as Count Basie, Glen Miller, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Artie Shaw, and many more. Swing Music also typically featured solo artists who could improvise and carry vocals through the rhythmic drums, winds, bass, sax, and piano of their bandmates. 

Swing Music created an atmosphere of high balancing on a stage of bluesy and swaying musical sounds and is a representation of an implausible beat that brings the best of ‘Sultry Sinatra Sounds’ from the 40’s, 50’s 60’s and through the 70’s. It’s easy to swing when you’ve got the balance and lilt of traditional love ballads, upbeat hip, and bluesy backbeat music to sway to; sounds which chronologize the history of fun and romance that lives in all of us. 

The occurrence of World War 2 saw swing music decline for a period during and after the war. However, singers such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Dean Martin, and Ella Fitzgerald helped bring in a revival for swing music in the late 50’s which carried through the next three decades.
