Music over the decades - 1930s

Hello, this counting the beat session is about music in the 1930s - 1940s.

 In the 1930s Swing music was the most popular music genre. Your probably thinking what is swing music, well swing music is a form of jazz that was developed in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s. The name came from the emphasis on the off beat, or weaker pulse. Swing bands usually featured soloists who would improvise on the melody over the arrangement, here are some examples of swing music.



I had fun doing the research for this decade.

Thank you for reading my blog about swing music, any feedback would be helpful.
