Swingkat INFO

during the 1920s, large groups of jazz musicians began to play together, forming the so-called big bands that became so popular in the 1930s and early 1940s that the period was known as the swing era. Orchestras were divided into instrumental sections, each with its own riffs (short melodic patterns in call-and-response patterns), and opportunities were provided for musicians to play extended solos. The development of the big band as a jazz medium was largely the achievement of Duke Ellington and Fletcher Henderson. Other bands in the tradition were led by Jimmie Lunceford, Chick Webb, and Cab Calloway.
