Swing music became popular in the 1930s and 1940s. Swing music was frequently performed by big bands, which consisted of a variety of musicians in sections, such as rhythm (e.g., piano, percussion, guitar, bass), brass (e.g., trumpets and trombones), woodwind (e.g., clarinet and saxophones), and vocals. Swing music was distinguished by offbeat rhythms. Due to the band’s size, many of the songs had a big, energetic sound.
