dance able swing bands in the country could have been secured for the af fair one thousand dollars or less contrasts music types he defined the essential differ ence between classical and swing music as being the fact that in the former the important thing is the composer and his paper music and in the latter the emphasis is placed upon the spontaneous expres sion of the individual player he drew a sharp distinction between popular music and swing pop ular music being in his opinion played in the groove or spontan eous and unaffected modern swing originated in the deep south according to the
