	The Origins Of Big Band Music
		Much African music has an organization which is based around rhythm and accent, rhythms and accents that may actually shift and move in relation to each other as the music progresses.
		The big change that took place in music rhythmically was the shift away from the Ooom-pah-Ooom-pah (1-2-3-4) rhythmic structure.
		Big Band Jazz, according to one historian, had its start in New Orleans in 1898 at the end of the Spanish-American war.

	Big Band Era Jazz History
		Although most historians regard the year 1935 as the start of the Big Band Era, it is still a debatable topic as big band jazz had indeed been recorded as early as the 1920s.
		In the 1920s the music of jazz began to migrate to a big band format combining elements of ragtime, fl spirituals, blues, and European music.
		The big band sounds of The Dorsey Brothers, Fletcher Henderson, Cab Calloway, The Casa Loma Orchestra, and Duke Ellington's orchestra as well as the styling in jazz vocals of The Mills Brothers and The Boswell Sisters were all moving toward an "arranged" and easy flowing style of jazz which would become known as swing.

	Swing Music Net - Big Band Music / Jazz History
		The period of the 1930s and 1940s is thus far the only age in history when the popularity of jazz eclipsed all other genres of music in the U.S. It is an epoch known as the big band era, and during it swing music was king.
		Furthermore smaller jazz groups, comprised of both former big band era soloists and new young musicians alike, have continued to utilize many parallel distinctions of the language of swing in their playing and recordings since the fall of the big bands.
		In the mid 1990s renewed interest in swing music was fueled by a swing dance resurgence of the Lindy-hop and jitterbug swing dances.

	Origins of Big Band Music
		The musical and cultural revolution that brought about jazz was a direct result of African-Americans pursuing careers in the arts following the United States civil war.
		For after the war, fl dancers and musicians were able to create work that was not hidebound by hundreds of years of musical and dance traditions brought from the courts and peasant villages of Europe.
		Many in white middle America were concerned, and magazine and newspaper articles decrying the influence of "fl" music on society and the scandalous behavior, including dancing, it supposedly led to were not uncommon.

	The Red Hot Jazz Archive
		Jazz represented a break from Western musical traditions, where the composer wrote a piece of music on paper and the musicians then tried their best to play exactly what was in the score.
		Many of these virtuoso musicians were not good sight readers and some could not read music at all, never the less their playing thrilled audiences and the spontaneous music they created captured a joy and sense of adventure that was an exciting and radical departure from the music of that time.
		The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians like Joe "King" Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton fromed small bands, that took the music of these older men and increased the complexity and dynamic of their music, as well as gaining greater commercial success.
