Swing Music...yay!

Most people believe that Swing Music began with Louis Armstrong in 1924, but it wasn't until mid 1935, when the & "Swing Era" was considered. The first performance was, Goodman's band whom was scheduled to perform at the Palomar Ballroom in Los Angels, California. Now this actually required the band to travel from the East coast to the West, making performance stops on the way. During these many stops, the "hot tunes" they tried playing were received poorly from the listeners. This All changed on August 21st, 1935 which was the official start of The Swing Era.
Shortly after this performance from 1935- 1946 every country club, night club, ballroom, radio, and even the background music of the movies was filled with swing jazz. People everywhere fox trotted to the sweet swing jazz tunes. Over this era some of the most popular music was made, from performers like Coleman Hawkins, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Red Allen, Roy Eldridge, Benny Carter,John Kirby, The Dorsey Brothers, Fletcher Henderson, Cab Calloway, The Casa Loma Orchestra, Duke Ellington's orchestra, The Mills Brothers, The Boswell Sisters,Benny Carter, Bunny Berigan, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, Jimmy Dorsey, Lester young, Nat King Cole, Teddy Wilson, The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, and many others.
