Big band music is a genre that emerged in the 1920s and reached its peak in the 1930s and 1940s. It features large ensembles of musicians playing brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments. The music is characterized by its swinging rhythms, complex arrangements, and improvisation. Big band music was popularized by dance halls and radio broadcasts, and it became a staple of American culture during the Great Depression and World War II.
