The 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. The verb "to swing" is also used as a term of praise for playing that has a strong rhythmic "groove" or drive. History: 1920s: Origins The styles of jazz that were popular from the late teens through the late 1920s were usually played with rhythms with a two beat feel, and often attempted to reproduce the style of contrapuntal improvisation developed by the first generation of jazz musicians in New Orleans. In the late 1920s, however, larger ensembles using written arrangements became the norm, and a subtle stylistic shift took place in the rhythm, which developed a four beat feel with a smoothly syncopated style of playing the melody, while the rhythm section supported it with a steady four to the bar. Like jazz, swing was created by African Americans, and its impact on the overall American culture was such that it marked and named an entire era of the USA, the swing era – as the 1920s had been termed "The Jazz Age".
The broken, eighth-note melodies and arrhythms of bebop had little impact on him, though on occasion he recorded with musicians who were not band members—not only with other swing-era luminaries such as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Coleman Hawkins but also with later bop musicians John Coltrane and Charles Mingus. Ellington's stylistic qualities were shared by Strayhorn, who increasingly participated in composing and orchestrating music for the Ellington band. During 1939–67 Strayhorn collaborated so closely with Ellington that jazz scholars may never determine how much the gifted deputy influenced or even composed works attributed to Ellington. He continued to lead the band until shortly before his death in 1974 (Encyclopædia). Unique was word that could almost sum up the extremely talented Duke Ellington.
Hard Bop Hard bop is a style of modern jazz developed by musicians in the late 1950’s. It is a very heavy, dark, and impassioned form of bebop and focuses mostly on the saxophone and drums who play in a more leading style. The foundation for this music was “bebop,” a style that became famous in the late 1940’s, which was known for its fast tempo, instrumental skill and improvisation. Hard bop was a type of music played mostly by town musicians originally from Detroit, Philadelphia and New York, which reflected an East Coast background. Hard bop differentiated with the West Coast's cooler, calmer response.
