That Year in Music 1935

That Year in Music 1935
November 27, 2024

In 1935, the music world was abuzz with big band swing music dominating the charts and dance halls. This year marked the height of the swing era, with genre-defining releases from artists such as Benny Goodman, Count Basie, and Duke Ellington.

One standout album from 1935 was Benny Goodman's "King Porter Stomp," a swinging collection of tunes that solidified Goodman's reputation as the "King of Swing." Count Basie also made waves with his album "Boogie Woogie," which showcased his legendary piano skills and laid the foundation for the emerging boogie-woogie style.

In the UK, the music scene was dominated by jazz and dance bands, with groups like Ambrose and His Orchestra leading the way. Big band music was all the rage, with the sounds of Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey filling the airwaves.

1935 also saw the birth of some musical legends, including Elvis Presley and Johnny Mathis. Elvis would go on to revolutionize the music industry with his unique blend of rock and roll, while Mathis would become known for his smooth and soulful voice.

In America, the Great Depression was still lingering, but the music scene provided a much-needed escape for many people. Swing music was the soundtrack of the era, with its infectious rhythms and lively melodies transporting listeners to another world.

Overall, 1935 was a year of musical innovation and excitement. The big band sound was at its peak, and artists like Benny Goodman and Count Basie were pushing the boundaries of what was possible in music. As we look back on this year, we can't help but be grateful for the enduring legacy of the swing era and the artists who shaped it.
