Sounds of The Swing Era with Down for the Count Sextet - The Music of Basie, Ellington, Dorsey & Goodman archive

Swing music is a form of jazz, developed in the USA in the 1930s and 1940s. The name came from the emphasis on the off-beat, or weaker pulse. The danceable swing style of big bands and bandleaders such as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Tommy Dorsey and above all Benny Goodman. The Swing Era was the dominant form of American popular music from 1935 to 1946. Down For The Count, under leader and arranger Mike Paul- Smith, have built a well deserved reputation for giving voice to this remarkable music, playing at Ronnie Scott's and Pizza Express Jazz Club and opening the EFG London Jazz Festival 2019.
