La période swing, encore appelée middle-jazz, représente un courant rythmique s’appliquant à la musique créée entre les courants musicaux New Orleans et be-bop, pour les big bands jouant avant tout pour les danseurs.
Le courant musical swing a connu son âge d'or au début des années 30 jusque dans les années 40.
La grande formation de Fletcher Henderson, fondée en 1923, est considérée comme le premier grand orchestre de l'histoire du Jazz. Son orchestre débute au Roseland Ballroom, l'un des dancings les plus huppés de New York. Jusqu'en 1930, cette formation est estimée comme la meilleure du genre. La plupart des grands solistes du Middle Jazz ont joué chez Fletcher Henderson.
Coleman Hawkins, la référence en saxo-ténor, s'impose jusqu'à son départ en 1934 comme le principal soliste : voici quelques enregistrements avec lui : Sugar Foot Stomp en 1925 (avec également Louis Armstrong), Hot And Anxious en 1931, Nagasaki en 1933, Queer Notions en 1933, King Porter Stomp en 1933, Hocus Pocus en 1934
En 1939 Fletcher Henderson dissout son orchestre pour rejoindre Benny Goodman.

Dès le début des années 20, le style "riff" se développe à Kansas City avec les orchestres de Walter Page, et de Bennie Moten. Pianiste de ragtime, Bennie Moten dirige en 1927 son premier big band. A partir de 1929, il débauche les solistes de Walter Page, dont le pianiste William Basie, au sein des "Blue Devils". Son orchestre est alors déjà doté d'une section rythmique dont s'inspireront de nombreux ensembles par la suite. Bennie Moten est le chef de file des musiciens fondateurs du style musical swing, et devient le principal représentant du jazz de Kansas City jusqu'à sa mort en 1935.

A partir de 1930, Chick Webb se produit régulièrement avec son orchestre au "Savoy Ballroom" de Harlem, paradis des danseurs surnommé le "foyer des pieds heureux". Roi incontesté du club de Harlem, Chick Webb fut l'un des premiers batteurs à diriger un orchestre. Malgré son infirmité, Chick Webb est un extraordinaire batteur, modèle d'efficacité. En 1935, Ella Fitzgerald devient la chanteuse du grand orchestre de Chick Webb. A la mort de ce dernier en 1939 (il n'a que 34 ans), Ella Fitzgerald prend la direction de l'orchestre.

Orchestre de Cab Calloway en 1936
Cab Calloway, avec une présence scénique hors du commun, dirigea l'un des meilleurs big band de la "swing craze". Son grand orchestre, l'un des plus prestigieux de Harlem qui se produit au Cotton Club en 1931, swingue avec une infaillible détermination. Les audaces verbales et musicales de Cab Calloway ont contribué à l'explosion du be-bop.
Le premier succès de Cab Calloway en 1931 Minnie The Moocher est aussi le plus célèbre de son répertoire. Blues In The Night en 1942 est l'un de ses plus gros succès.

Le pianiste Edward Kennedy Ellington joue dans le groupe "The Washingtonians" en 1923 puis devient en 1924 leader de ce groupe qu'il étoffe. Pendant un demi-siècle le Duke Ellington Orchestra va imposer son "Harlem Sound". Duke Ellington est certainement le plus grand compositeur afro-américain de l'histoire du Jazz, mais il est aussi un maître incomparable de l'orchestration. Engagé en 1927 au Cotton Club, Il s'y produira régulièrement jusqu'en 1938. Le 23 janvier 1943, il présente au Carnégie Hall de New York sa suite Black, Brown And Beige (une oeuvre de près d'une heure qui retrace l'histoire de la communauté afro-américaine). Pour la première fois, un orchestre noir y tient à lui seul la vedette.

Jimmie Lunceford fonde son premier groupe en 1927. L'orchestre de Jimmie Lunceford devient célèbre grâce à son succès au Cotton Club à partir de 1934. Avec pour arrangeur Sy Oliver, le style Lunceford est à son apogée entre 1936 et 1940. Pendant une huitaine d'années la formation de Jimmie Lunceford rivalisera avec les meilleurs, certains la considérant l'égale de celle de Duke Ellington. Les principaux solistes de l'orchestre sont : Trummy Young (tb), Willie Smith (as), Joe Thomas (ts). Agé de 45 ans, il décède d'un arrêt cardiaque au cours d'une séance d'autographes.

En 1928 le pianiste William Basie, joue au sein des "Blue Devils" de Walter Page, rejoint en 1929 le grand orchestre de Bennie Moten dont il prend la direction en 1935. Le style de Count Basie est fondé sur le blues (influence du style de Kansas City) avec l'usage des riffs et l'égalité des quatre temps, le four-beat. L'orchestre de Count Basie se produit au Grand Terrace Café de Chicago et au Roseland Ballroom de New York. Cette machine à swing s'impose aux côtés de celles d'Ellington, de Benny Goodman et de Tommy Dorsey. Count Basie est avec Duke Ellington l'autre pilier de l'école du Middle Jazz.

Orchestre de Benny Goodman
L'orchestre de Benny Goodman est le plus célèbre des grands orchestres blancs. Héritier de la tradition de Chicago et influencé par les jazzmen de La Nouvelle-Orléans, ce virtuose de la clarinette, a su faire une synthèse des différents courants des années 30 aux Etats Unis. Son orchestre remporte un vif succès au Palomar Ballroom de Los Angeles en 1935. C'est à son sens aigu du swing que Benny Goodman doit son extraordinaire popularité et son couronnement comme "Roi du Swing". Il a su renouvelé le langage du jazz, grâce à son arrangeur Fletcher Henderson, pour l'adapter au goût des danseurs.

Glenn Miller, tromboniste, fonde un orchestre de danse en 1939 qui devient vite populaire. C'est en créant, en 1942, l'orchestre de l'"Army Air Force" que Glenn Miller accède à une renommée internationale. Il a donné à son big band un son particulier en doublant le lead tenor par la clarinette. Le 15 décembre 1944, Glenn Miller embarque à Londres dans un petit avion pour la France. Celui-ci n’arrivera jamais.

Grand tromboniste au jeu legato très fluide, Tommy Dorsey s'est révélé un remarquable chef d'orchestre. Autre grand orchestre blanc, l'un des meilleurs et des plus populaires orchestres swing de 1935 à 1953, la formation de Tommy Dorsey swingue magistralement sur des arrangements du grand Sy Oliver. Au sein de cet ensemble on retrouve les vedettes : Bunny Berigan (tp), Buddy Rich (d), Bud Freeman (ts), Frank Sinatra (v).

Pianiste novateur à l'origine du style piano-trompette, Earl Hines a également connu le succès comme chef d'orchestre. Au début des années 20 il monte son premier combo, un trio constitué d'un violoniste et d'un batteur. En 1926 Hines devient le pianiste attitré du "Jimmie Noone Apex club orchestra" à Chicago. Membre du Hot Five en 1928, il se révèle le pianiste idéal de Louis Armstrong. De 1929 à 1948, Earl Hines, à la tête d'un grand orchestre, se produit au Grand Terrace Ballroom, le club prestigieux de Chicago.
Son orchestre s'impose comme l'un des meilleurs des années 30. Les innovations du pianiste Earl "Fatha" Hines et de son arrangeur Jimmy Mundy seront reprises par tous les maîtres de l'ère swing. En 1934 il enregistre avec son orchestre les chefs-d'oeuvre Rosetta et Copenhagen.
Earl Hines est considéré comme le père de tous les pianistes de jazz, y compris les plus modernes.

Orchestre de Benny Carter
Benny Carter, brillant musicien et compositeur, arrive chez Fletcher Henderson en 1929 et écrit pour lui des arrangements jusqu'en 1932. Il enregistre avec Fletcher Henderson en 1930 et 1931. Maître incontesté du saxophone alto, mais aussi trompettiste, il joue successivement dans les orchestres "The Chocolate Dandies", "Spike Hughes and his Negro Orchestra", de Fletcher Henderson, de Bob Howard, de Willie Bryant, de Willie Lewis, de Coleman Hawkins and his All Star Jam Band, de Lionel Hampton, du Metronome All Stars Band, de Glenn Miller.
Il crée son grand orchestre en 1928, dirige un petit moment les McKinney's Cotton Pickers, avant de revenir à son big band en 1932. En tant que saxophoniste alto il domine tous les autres aux côtés de Johnny Hodges. Très perfectionniste en tant que leader, il obtient un immense succès et son apport à la Swing Era va être déterminant.

Artie Shaw, clarinettiste au jeu lyrique et exotique, est le créateur d'un jazz romantique et moderne qui a contribué à l'âge d'or du swing. Il connaît un premier succès en 1935 en jouant avec un quatuor à cordes à l'Imperial Theater de New York.
En formant son premier orchestre en 1936, il est l'un des premiers chefs d'orchestre à engager des chanteuses et des instrumentistes de couleur ; par exemple la chanteuse Billie Holiday en 1938.
A la fin des années 30, Artie Shaw jouit d'une popularité comparable à celle de Benny Goodman grâce notamment à son interprétation célèbre de Begin The Beguine de Cole Porter.
Après s'être retiré un moment du monde musical, il reconstitue en 1940 un orchestre qui enchaîne les succès : Frenesi est n°1 aux États-Unis pendant 13 semaines.

Orchestre de Charlie Barnet
Le saxophoniste Charlie Barnet forme un big band au début de 1933. Charlie Barnet intègre des musiciens noirs, tels que Roy Eldridge (tp), Oscar Pettiford (b) et Trummy Young (tb) et les arrangeurs Fletcher Henderson, Benny Carter, Don Redman ou Billy May.
En 1934 son orchestre est le premier big band blanc à se produire au célèbre Apollo Theater de Harlem.
Charlie Barnet est au sommet de sa popularité entre 1939 et 1941, une période qui commence avec le succès de Cherokee, composé par Ray Noble et arrangé par Billy May.
Il est aussi compositeur de plusieurs musiques comme Skyliner, arrangée par Billy May, un de ses plus grands succès en 1944.
Durant sa période swing sa formation comprenait Buddy DeFranco (cl), Roy Eldridge (tp), Neal Hefti (tp), Lena Horne (v), Barney Kessel (g), Dodo Marmarosa (p), Oscar Pettiford (b)...

Les musiciens du 'Bama State Collegians', groupe d'amis venant de l'Alabama, dirigé par le trompettiste Erskine Hawkins exécutent de façon exemplaire un swing souple de belle sonorité.
Ce big band, qui succéde à celui de Chick Webb après la mort de ce dernier en 1939, sera le favori des habitués danseurs du Savoy Ballroom de Harlem.
Erskine Hawkins, surnommé "The 20th Century Gabriel", enregistre de 1936 à 1945. Il compose en 1939, avec le saxophoniste et arrangeur Bill Johnson, la musique Tuxedo Junction, qui sera très populaire pendant la seconde guerre mondiale.

Fats Waller and his Rhythm
Thomas "Fats" Waller organiste, pianiste et compositeur est un musicien à l'humour communicatif, et qui est considéré parmi les meilleurs joueurs de piano stride. En 1926, il commence à enregistrer pour la firme RCA Victor et en 1929 enregistre une superbe série de solos de piano. Après avoir en 1929 constitué l'orchestre "Fats Waller And His Buddies", la carrière de Fats Waller est à son apogée en 1934 quand il enregistre avec son combo, de cinq ou six musiciens, intitulé "Fats Waller and his Rhythm". Cet orchestre se produit sans relâche pendant 9 années, enregistrant plus de 400 morceaux.
Le caractère jovial de Fats Waller et sa faconde lors de ses vocaux lui assurent un immense succès auprès de ses fans. Il anime aussi des radio-shows, et apparaît également dans des films, notamment dans Stormy Weather dont ce sera sa dernière apparition en 1943.

En 1924 le jeune prodige du cornet puis de la trompette Louis Armstrong (devenu célèbre après son passage en 1922 dans le Creole Jazz Band, le mythique orchestre de King Oliver) est recruté par Fletcher Henderson. Louis Armstrong ne reste que treize mois dans l'orchestre de Fletcher Henderson mais son passage a permis au big band d'acquérir ses lettres de noblesse.
Dès 1925 à Chicago, Louis Armstrong avec son groupe le Hot Five, puis le Hot Seven rompt avec l'improvisation collective propre au jazz Nouvelle-Orléans en donnant la prépondérance aux solistes.
En 1930-1931 Louis Armstrong prend la direction de l'orchestre de Luis Russell, puis joue avec des formations très diverses. En 1947 il crée son "All Stars" sextuor qui mêle le style New Orleans et les riffs typiques des big bands.
Les musiciens de ce groupe sont en 1947 : Jack Teagarden (tb), Dick Cary (p), Louis Armstrong (tp), Bobby Hackett (co), Peanuts Hucko (cl), Bob Haggart (sb), et Sidney Catlett (d) (voir photo).

Orchestre de Woody Herman en 1944
Woody Herman, clarinettiste et saxophoniste alto, est engagé en 1934 par Isham Jones et prend deux ans plus tard la direction de l'orchestre. Il forme en 1936 son premier grand orchestre, appelé "The band That plays the Blues", et enregistre Woodchopper's ball en 1939, un titre qui le rendra célèbre.
Son orchestre remanié "The First Herd" joue le morceau Blues in the Night (My Mama Done Tol' Me) qui est n°1 aux États-Unis en février 1942.
Grâce à des arrangements raffinés et à un recrutement de solistes comme Stan Getz (ts), Zoot Sims (ts), Herbie Stewart (ts), Serge Chaloff (bar), Al Cohn (ts), Jimmy Giuffre (cl) ; Woody Herman, grand leader, maintient son grand orchestre pendant plus de quarante ans en le faisant évoluer avec l'histoire du jazz. La composition en 1947 de Four Brothers marque la naissance du Jazz West Coast.

En 1923 Don Redman rejoint, en tant que clarinettiste et saxophoniste alto, Fletcher Henderson And His Club Alabam Orchestra puis devient directeur musical des McKinney's Cotton Pickers en 1927.
En 1931 il fonde son propre orchestre. Considéré comme précurseur, son orchestre connaît un grand succès au Manhattan jazz club "Connie's Inn" jusqu'en 1940. Pendant la période 1931-1934 il enregistre sous le label "Brunswick Records". Il signe en 1938 avec "Bluebird Records" et enregistre avec eux jusqu'en 1940. Il abandonne ensuite le grand orchestre pour se consacrer uniquement aux arrangements musicaux pour Jimmy Dorsey, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Jimmie Lunceford, Harry James.
Après la guerre, en 1946, Don Redman part en tournée européenne avec un orchestre où figure le saxophoniste Don Byas. Le 15 décembre 1946, Don Redman se produit à la salle Pleyel.
Don Redman est surtout connu pour ses arrangements et ses compositions.
Arrangements de Don Redman pour Fletcher Henderson : Sugar Foot Stomp en 1925, I'm Comin' Virginia en 1926. Sa composition Chant Of The Weed en 1932 sera jouée par Duke Ellington.

Voici une liste (ne prétendant pas à l'exhaustivité) de bons morceaux swing, pour danser le Charleston, le Lindy-hop, le Balboa ou le Shag.
Les dates d'enregistrements sont comprises entre 1925 et 1965, soit une période plus large que la "swing era". Les musiques sont citées souvent avec plusieurs orchestrations.
Dans cette liste vous pouvez écouter de nombreux morceaux marqués (m3u).
Ces nombreux fichiers audio résident sur le précieux site jazz-on-line.com. Que son auteur Michel soit ici remercié .
Vous retrouverez des standards incontournables, immortalisés pour certains par des enregistrements cinématographiques.
Revivez cette Époque Swing en visualisant les nombreux vidéo clips en provenance du site YouTube.com (plus de soixante dix au début de la mise en ligne de cette page, mais sans garantie de la pérennité de ces liens).
En raison du grand nombre d'interprétations, au cours de l'époque "swing era" et de nos jours, un des meilleurs morceaux swing est, selon nous, "On The Sunny Side Of The Street", composition de 1930 de Jimmy McHugh pour la musique et Dorothy Fields pour les paroles :
Grab your coat and get your hat
Leave your worry on the doorstep
Just direct your feet
On the sunny side of the street
Can't you hear a pitter-pat
And that happy tune is your step
Life can be so sweet
On the sunny side of the street
I used to walk in the shade
With those blues on parade
But now I’m not afraid
This rover crossed over
If I'd never have a cent
I'd be rich as Rockefeller
Going to set my feet
On the sunny side of the street
