Yes it is is. During the swing era, the large swing bands were the main source of entertainment for many people. At the weekends people would go out and dance to them and the popular bands had regular broadcasts that were eagerly listened to. Many great jazz musicians found regular employment in the ranks of the bands and many singers such as Ella Fitzgerald (Chick Webb's Band) and Frank Sinatra (Tommy Dorsey Orchestra) got their first breaks singing in front of a swing orchestra.
