From the Western Swing Society:
WHAT IS WESTERN SWING MUSIC?
A division of the American phenomenon known as jazz, many elements of musical roots are combined to form Western Swing music including blues, Dixieland, ragtime, big-band, swing, country, pop, and breakdowns.
Jazz music is typically defined by its use of improvisation. This means the featured instrumentalist delivers a continual reinterpretation of the melody being presented. Western Swing music relies also on improvisation. Therefore, Western swing music is a form of jazz with heavy accent on the beat and its dance-ability.
The history of Western Swing Music can be endlessly debated. However, our research concludes that the art form was rooted in the Southwestern Region of the United States, in and around Texas and Oklahoma. In its early development stages, it took on a consistent and uniform sound, pioneered by Bob Wills, Milton Brown and their many associates during the 1930's.
Make a reservation, and join us for the Western Swing Trio's fine rendition of this traditional, spirited music!
