Fox-trot che follia playlist

The Foxtrot craze

It was the pioneers of the “jazz band” – as the first jazz groups and the music genre itself were called – who imported the Foxtrot into Italy during the years of the First World War.  This exciting rhythm that injected new life into a scene dominated by the languid early twentieth -century romances would be consolidated in the 1920s and lead the then little-known Swing to conquer its spot alongside the more traditional melodic songs. The playlist features classics and curios from the 1920s to the early 1940s.
