The Swing era (also frequently referred to as the #big #band #era) was the period of time (around 1935–1946) when big band Swing music was the most popular music in the #UnitedStates. Though this was its most popular period, the music had actually been around since the late 1920s and early 1930s, being played by black bands led by such artists as Duke Ellington, Jimmie Lunceford, Bennie Moten, Cab Calloway, and Fletcher Henderson, and white bands from the 1920s led by the likes of Russ Morgan and Isham Jones.
