Add a swing wedding band to your to-do list if you want your guests to party all night.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-Is-Swing-Music\"><\/span>What Is Swing Music?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Swing music is a genre that was developed in the US during the late 1920s and early 1930s. However, it became popular nationwide in the mid to late 1930s and then spread worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Swing started as an offset of jazz, but don\u2019t assume these genres are the same. Swing bands tend to be more lively and rhythmic than traditional types of jazz. Some believe swing developed from jazz in order to make the sound more \u201cdance-friendly\u201d for audiences; hence the rhythm section is crucial.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Fun Fact: The name \u201cswing\u201d refers to the different beat or off-beat.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Famous musicians from the 1930s swing period include Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Jimmy Dorsey, Duke Ellington, Django Reinhardt, and Glenn Miller.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing-a-Swing-Band-for-Your-Wedding\"><\/span>Choosing a Swing Band for Your Wedding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So, how can a swing band complement your wedding?<\/p>\n<p>If you imagine your reception full of laughter, twirling, and the two-step, add swing to your wedding planning. This vintage genre is all about embracing the rhythm and moving your body, which is ideal if you want your guests up and moving rather than watching a show. It\u2019s also great for low-key cocktail hours, as it keeps the vibe upbeat.<\/p>\n<p>Also, swing is great if you\u2019re planning a 1930s or 1940s wedding. Of course, you can pair it with any decade or wedding aesthetic. However, it\u2019ll feel extra special when you\u2019re in your vintage-inspired outfit. Now do the lindy hop!<\/p>\n<p>Add a swing-twist to your big day with <a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/Hetty-and-the-Jazzato-Band\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hetty and the Jazzato Band<\/a>.

See more about this genre below.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-Is-Jazz-Music\"><\/span>What Is Jazz Music?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Jazz didn\u2019t appear out of thin air. This well-known genre is a fusion of ragtime and blues, and it was cooked up in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the early 1900s. However, jazz is closely associated with the 1920s, and this decade is even referred to as the \u201cJazz Age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jazz music blends European harmonies, African rhythms, and passionate improvisation. This dynamic music style usually includes the sound of pianos, trumpets, and saxophones, and jazz bands offer both high-energy songs and sensual ballads.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Fun Fact: The origins of the word \u201cjazz\u201d are unknown!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Well-known jazz musicians include Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Parker, and Chet Baker.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing-a-Jazz-Band-for-Your-Wedding\"><\/span>Choosing a Jazz Band for Your Wedding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A jazz band is the perfect accompaniment for a vintage wedding. Whether you want your lively tunes at your reception or smooth melodies at your ceremony, jazz suits any situation \u2014 especially a celebration.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, jazz bands are a perfect choice for lively background music that sets the tone for the event without being too loud to have a good conversation.<\/p>\n<p>But jazz doesn\u2019t have to be in the background. Postmodern jukebox jazz bands are notorious for putting on an unforgettable show. These professional vintage wedding bands strive to make an impact with unique improvisations, an electric stage presence, and the ability to fill a dance floor.<\/p>\n<p>Add the sweet sounds of jazz to your event with <a href=\"https:\/\/encoremusicians.com\/Neon-Blue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Neon Blue<\/a>, a five-star jazz band based in the Southwest and London.

This genre evolved from the oral tradition of African American spirituals and work songs, which usually featured \u201ccall-and-response\u201d patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Blues music features poignant lyrics, and in traditional blues, lyrics consist of one line repeated four times.
