Moonlighting The Podcast Swing Theme Music

Grace and Shawna decided to choose Swing Music for their Podcast, and specifically purchased the rights to the music as a homage to the iconic Moonlighting episode "The Dream Sequence Always Rings Twice" from Season Two.

Even though this episode is set in the 40s era, they thought it was fitting to use this type of sound in their theme, as Swing Music was a style of jazz that developed in the United States during the late 1920s and early 1930s. It became nationally popular from the mid-1930s. 

Swing music had a danceable rhythm to it and the Big Bands of the time as well as the Bandleaders such as Benny Goodman were a dominant force in American popular music from 1935 to 1946. Swing bands usually featured soloists who would improvise on the melody over the arrangement.

This was known as the Swing Era when people were dancing to tunes such as the Lindy Hop.

The word "Swing" is used as a term of praise for playing that has a strong groove or drive.

Some examples of Musicians from the Swing era include Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Woody Herman, and of course Glenn Miller.

Swing has its roots in 1920s dance music. New styles of written arrangements, incorporating rhythmic innovations pioneered by the incomparable Louise Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, and Benny Carter as well as many many others.

Unfortunately, during the World War II era, Swing music began to decline in popularity, and after the war, "Bebop" and "Jump Blues" gained popularity.
