<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Big Band and Swing music are not interchangeable as many people believe. Big Band is a format of music which allows many different      <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">  <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">styles of music to be played, one of which happens to be swing. On the other hand, Swing is a style of music which became most popular in the <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">    1920's. Swing music is very popular to dance to because it is very upbeat and happy.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Big Band music was said to be founded 1898 in New Orleans, Louisiana. American military bands r  <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">eturned from the Spanish-American War and the military sold their instruments, which flooded New Orleans with band instruments. African-Americans bought hundreds of these band instruments, formed bands and taught themselves how to play them. The music they played was very good because they started from scratch; improvising! They also started by acquiring the skills to create new sounds for the trumpet and trombone. This even lead to musicians using common household objects in their music. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">The Swing Era of music became most popular around 1925. Swing was one of the most popular dancing music based off of Big Band. This was because it was the most fast-paced music there was. Swing was a feeling; a style of music that was not the base. It had its own special properties, such as a faster tempo. Swing music was a democratic music that tried to calm the racial issues of the time.

If that had not happened, some of the best jazz/swing music would have never been heard. Everyone was happy, and nothing was going wrong. All that changed, only a year later.

By November of that year, stocks had hit rock bottom, leaving many Americans to suffer during the upcoming years of the Great Depression. Despite that, the 1920's was overall a very exciting, entertaining time period to live in.
