Swing: Pure Pleasure - 1935-1937
1935 was the year that swing became the most popular music in the country and that the king of swing, Benny Goodman, became a matinee idol. Americans, stifled by the Depression, seemed determined to dance their troubles away. “Swing: Pure Pleasure” follows the continuing careers of Goodman, Artie Shaw, and Armstrong, and the discovery of Billie Holiday.
