Jazz began to \u00abswing<\/strong>\u00bb as musicians began to adopt swing eighths, the string\"\"<\/a> bass, high hat cymbals, and a looser, more rhythmic feeling\u00a0 .\u00a0 .\u00a0 .\u00a0 \u00a0\u21d2<\/p>\n

This change occurred gradually starting in the twenties notably with Louis Armstrong<\/strong>, and continued on into the 40’s.
