Big Band

Big Band music, emerging in the early 20th century, is a vibrant genre characterized by large ensembles typically featuring brass, woodwinds, and a rhythm section. Its roots lie in jazz, with swinging rhythms and intricate arrangements that fuel lively dance floors. Notable for its powerful, harmonious sound, Big Band music peaked in the Swing Era, led by iconic figures like Duke Ellington and Count Basie, who infused it with infectious energy and sophistication.
