What is a rocking orchestra?

Also known as the Big Band or Jazz Age era, Swing Orchestra ruled in a single time in America, when the form of jazz was the most popular music genre. The band was marked with a loud rhythmic section with a drum set and bass and backed up the mini-symph's brass, such as trumpets and wood, such as a saxophone. The band leader ruled from the center of the stage, introduced solo artists and kept the crowd involved.

As with Louis Armstrong on Trumpet, Benny "King of Swing" Goodman on Clarinet, or Count Basie on Piano or Bubny, the bandleader often played with the rocking orchestra and was often the most famous member. He or she would only stop for joking between songs and redirect music that is said to have "swing" or naturally rolled every melody. Unlike many earlier and later jazz forms, the rocking orchestra was followed by the basic form of each song, and improvisation remained primarily for soloists and singers. This caused more dance and led to a dance houseswing.

Many points on Benny Goodman and his orchestra as the first rocking band with his performance in 1935 in Los Angeles' Palloar Ballroom. Maybe it was when the white audience caught up in dance form, but it was Chick Webb, an African American who gets a large part of the loan when he debuted the form four years earlier in Harlem packed with great depression. A similar phenomenon appeared a few decades later when Elvis Presley brought white people to the fold of rhythm and blues, other African American works.

Swing Music was born as an organized, staged form of jazz in the mid -thirties, popularized on the radio, scene and recordings of band leaders such as Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. Swing not only gained popularity through the state radio and dance halls; It was the main export of music to the American troops overseas on the radio of the armed forcesAnd in the USO show. When the soldiers returned home, this artistic form began Peter.

The audience soon began to prefer the style of pop coroning artists such as Frank Sinatra, and traveling with giant orchestras became too expensive. The Swing Orchestra and its mostly positive, melodic sound fell out of kindness at the end of World War II in 1945, but not before the creation of millions of other fans for the jazz form that gave him life. The genre continues to this day with several regional acts maintaining old style alive and injected with newer flavors from sources such as rock 'n' roll, blues and salsa.
