Similarities: Well, they're both music (of course), and they both use a variety of instruments. Also, they are all popular.

Differences: 1. Jazz music was developed from mixed cultures at the beginning of 20th century. Rock music was developed from blues, country and jazz in 1950's.

2. Trumpet is the main feature of jazz music while rock uses electric guitars.

3. Jazz music is lower in pitch while rock music is loud and mind blowing.

Today there aren't nearly as many places to hear live swing bands versus those that existed in the 1930s and 1940s. Instead of playing for dances at ballrooms, most bands now appear in theatres and concert halls, so you need to do some on-line searching to find out which band is appearing where.

If you want to hear recordings of current and original swing band, though, there are literally thousands of websites you can tune into. Just a few sites:

It isn't and never has been, except among some extremely conservative religious groups that prohibit many forms of entertainment, not just swing dancing.

There were so many famous composers that it's very difficult to name a single individual as best-known. Some who stand out among the hundreds include Billy Strayhorn, Fletcher Henderson, Artie Shaw, Jerry Gray and Duke Ellington. All were also arrangers, and among that group only Billy Strayhorn wasn't also an orchestra leader.

Many songs that became popular as swing tunes were composed by people who weren't actually swing musicians; they wrote for Broadway shows and what was known as "Tin Pan Alley". Again, among the many famous composers names like Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and the Gershwin brothers stand out.

Swing occurs in various colloquial expressions, indicating brisk or lively activity.

It's theoretically possible, though dangerous and most swingsets are not designed to allow it. It's somewhat safer if the swing is on rigid rods rather than on a chain or rope, because that means that, if you run out of momentum at the very top, you won't fall straight down and bash your brains out on the support pole.

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.

Appears the term got its start as "svingskift" (literally: swing shift) in the offshore petroleum industry in Norway referring to a two-week tour during which employees work 12-hour days the first seven days and 12-hour nights the second, thus 'swinging' from a day shift to a night shift.

The next reference to 'swing-shift' appears during the Second World War, where factories were on a 24x7 schedule with 3 shifts, 'swing-shift' being the second shift of mid-afternoon to midnight.

There are hundreds. Just to name a few:

Don't Be That Way (Benny Goodman)

One O'Clock Jump (Count Basie)

Take the "A" Train (Duke Ellington)

Nonstop Flight (Artie Shaw)

Blue Lou (Bunny Berigan)

In the Mood (Glenn Miller)

Stompin' At The Savoy (Chick Webb)

Well, Git It! (Tommy Dorsey)

Music Makers (Harry James)

Afternoon of a Moax (Charlie Barnet)

Anthropology (Claude Thornhill)

Swing didn't have a single source. It grew out of a combination of jazz, show music, Tin Pan Alley, and spirituals with added elements from classical music and even klezmer.

Jazz was performed mostly by small groups and relies heavily on improvisation; i.e. the musicians follow a basic melodic line but add their own interpretations as they perform. Generally no two performances of the same tune would be the same. In the 1920s various orchestra leaders such as Paul Whiteman and Duke Ellington formed larger orchestras playing arrangements where most of the parts were written out in advance, similar to classical music, but with breaks where individual musicians would play improvised solos.

Black bandleaders such as Ellington, Count Basie, Bennie Moten, Fletcher Henderson and others incorporated elements of spirituals into their music. One of the most important aspects was using instruments to imitate the call-and-response form of many spirituals. In call-and-response each voice in the choir sings the melody in sequence, and each adds a variation to the prior voice. Orchestrally this was accomplished by assigning variations of the melody to each group of instruments; for example the melody might be first played by the trumpets, then the reeds, then the trombones, with each adding different interpretations.

The music of the black bands travelled up the Mississippi river to clubs in Kansas City, and eventually to Chicago and New York where it was heard by musicians such as Benny Goodman and the Gershwin brothers. They added influences from classical and show music. Many of those musicians were also Jewish and brought influences from their religious music in the same way that Christian musicians brought influences from spirituals.

While many bandleaders contributed to popularizing swing, Benny Goodman can arguably be said to have brought it to the mainstream. He had studied classical and jazz clarinet as a child in Chicago and was heavily influenced by various black bands whose music reached that city in the 1920s. In particular he took many arrangements from Fletcher Henderson's band and introduced them to white audiences who were unlikely to have heard them in those horribly segregated days. By 1935 Goodman's band had become a favorite of many young listeners and dancers. Within a year or so swing was the dominant form of popular music in the US, lasting until WWII.

Swing and big band are related. Although there were some small groups that were definitely swing bands, they mirrored the style and most of the arrangements of the big bands. However big bands also played dance music and ballads that weren't really swing tunes even though they used the same instrumentation.

We would need to read the article to properly answer your question. This question has been in the question pool a long time so I figured I better let you know that. I did find an excerpt from Wikipedia under the heading of SWING MUSIC which I included on the related link below. I hope this excerpt helps you and you can learn more from the link.

"Swing music began to decline in popularity during World War II because of several factors. Most importantly it became difficult to staff a "big band" because many musicians were overseas fighting in the war. Also, the cost of touring with a large ensemble became prohibitive because of wartime economics. These two factors made smaller 3 to 5 piece combos more profitable and manageable. A third reason is the recording bans of 1942 and 1948 because of musicians' union strikes. In 1948, there were no records legally made at all, although independent labels continued to bootleg records in small numbers. When the ban was over in January 1949, swing had evolved into new styles such as jump blues and bebop."

Depends on the swing... probably around a foot or two.

The question states "while on a swing" which I believe implies that the swing is in use and therefore in motion. At rest the swing could be at "a foot or two" but while in motion the swing would get exponentially higher with every stroke of the legs. The total height could not be figured without the height at the top of the swing and the length of the assembly ie.. rope, chain, vine etc...plus the material which the child sits on. And are we talking about height at the end of their feet, at the bum or head height. I've swung on a number of swings and consider myself somewhat of a swinger and I can say that on most swings I've been on they go 4-6 feet high.

Basically, Jazz music is "Negroid" music, Hitler banned all music composed by Jews, Black people or even anything that was too experimental, as we know he was very racist and anti semetic and used propoganda to prevent Germany being influences by anything non aryan. In 1938 he held the exhibition of degenerate music, to condemn Jazz music further. The German classical musician Mendelssohn was prohibited because he was Jewish. Hitler prefered Germany to listen to romantic German classical music, to encourage nostalgia and preserve old traditions. Wagner and Strauss were his personal favourites.
