What is swing? It is said that when Louis Armstrong was asked this question, he replied: "If you have to ask, you will never understand it." In terms of musical terminology, swing is not a specific style of music; it is a way of playing, something that can be heard and felt. This idea was best expressed by Artie Shaw: "Swing is a verb, not an adjective." At the same time, swing is not just a musical concept; it is a whole socio-cultural category that captivated and entertained America during two of its most difficult periods in history – the Great Depression and World War II. online Radio «Swing» swing masters are widely represented, from Glen Miller to Brian Setzer Orchestra!
