The 1930s and 1940s were the age of big band music, or “swing.” With their skillfully arranged orchestral songs, improvised solos, and meaningful lyrics, bands struck a chord with Americans during World War II.

 

Big band music was popular with people of all ages. The younger listeners gathered at dance halls like the one pictured on the front of this cover to hear songs such as “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” and “One O’Clock Jump.” Many performers also entertained the older crowd at ballrooms around the country.
