Swing Revival.

The 1990s saw a revival of the swing style. New swing bands released popular recordings and were featured as part of advertising campaigns and even at the Super Bowl half time show. Prominent bands of the decade included the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Listen to some selections of music from the swing revival (search for songs by these bands on Spotify or YouTube, or check out the “Swing Revival” Spotify playlist below) and compare the sound of this music to the swing-era selections on this week’s playlist by Fletcher Henderson, Benny Goodman, and Glenn Miller. Note any differences in timbre, instrumentation, and groove. Most of the lyrics for music in the swing era were similar in theme to Tin Pan Alley songs. How do the lyrics of music from the swing revival of the 1990s differ from those in the Tin Pan Alley era?
