What is Swing? Swing Explained in 2 Minutes (Music Theory)

Hi there!

I'm (finally!) back with a new music theory related video explaining what is swing, a form of popular music developed in the United States that dominated in the 1930s and 1940s. The amazing danceable swing style of big bands and bandleaders such as Benny Goodman was the dominant form of American popular music from 1935 to 1946, a period known as the swing era.

You will recognize "In the Mood", a popular big band-era #1 hit recorded by American bandleader Glenn Miller. It topped the charts for 13 straight weeks in 1940 in the U.S. In 1999, National Public Radio (NPR) included the song recording on RCA Bluebird on the NPR 100, the list of "The 100 most important American musical works of the 20th century". Then in 2004, the original song recording on RCA Victor was inducted into the Library of Congress National Recording Registry which consists of recordings that are "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."

Hopefully I made it clear, understandable but, above all, fun! :)

Enjoy!
