    Swing

    Swing arose in the early jazz era for three main reasons: 1) Musicians from middle-class backgrounds, both black and white, were taught classical and popular music styles as children rather than genres like blues or boogie-woogie. This influenced their musical traditions. 2) Early jazz relied on pre-composed arrangements and the ability to read written music, which limited improvisation. 3) It focused on individual soloists rather than ensemble playing. These factors contributed to the decline of early jazz styles and the rise of swing, a new jazz style.
