Swing was a musical style that defined a generation. Lifting a country from the Great Depression, and sustaining a nation through the upheaval of World War II, swing music was uniquely American. Soft and sweet, or hot and fast, this was the music of Goodman, Dorsey, James and Miller… played everywhere, heard everywhere, and loved by all.
Over half a century later, the uptempo, melodic music of the swing era is back again with a vengeance. From television commercials to Broadway musicals, swing is again “king”. Swing dance clubs are flourishing, and the grandchildren of the bobby soxers can cut a rug as well as their grandparents when dancing to the music of groups like the Billie Ledbetter Orchestra.
