Swing music in an electronic age

Chris Inglis examines electro swing as a contemporary style built from swing-era music and electronic dance music. The book uses the genre to explore questions of musical inheritance and reinvention: what it means for a current scene to draw so heavily on the past, and how jazz can be presented and defined for modern audiences. It also places electro swing within wider discussions of race and class consumption, connecting musical analysis to the social context in which genres are received and understood.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in electro swing and its musical roots in swing and jazz.
  • For those exploring how older musical forms are reworked in contemporary genres.
  • For readers interested in music’s relationship to race, class, and cultural consumption.

Book overview

Electro swing is a relatively recent musical style and scene which combines the music of the swing era with that of the age of electronic dance music. Chris Inglis considers key questions about electro swing's place in contemporary society, including what it may mean for a contemporary genre to be so reliant upon the influences of the past; the different ways in which jazz may be presented to a modern audience; how one may go about defining jazz in today's postmodern world; and how this emergent genre may be analysed in terms of the wider issues of race and class consumption.
