Pełny opis

"It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing..." Swing defined a generation and measured the country's musical heartbeat. In its heyday, swing reached a mass audience of widely disparate individuals and united them. They perceived in the mood and tempos of swing the very definition of modernity. What fed the music? And, in tum, what did the music feed? Bindas shows that swing manifested the kind of contemporary allure that people craved. Swing sounded modern, happy, optimistic, and flouted the hardships of the Depression. Its all-out appropriation of modernity - consumer advertising, the language and symbols of consumption, and the public's all-too evident wish for a good time in an era of austerity.
