Comment:

Americans swung into action in response to two of the central challenges of the 20th century—the Great Depression followed by World War II—embracing dynamic, rip-roaring music. Big bands roamed the land, raising spirits and bucking up morale with sounds that impelled a nation to search for a silver lining, and swing, swing, swing!
