Un ritmo sincopato playlist

In the 1920s in Italy it was known as jazz-band, a foreign expression which was used to define both the music and the performers of a style that went simply by the name of jazz in the United States of America. Characterized by a rhythm (syncopation, to be precise) that was unusual in European ballroom music of the 1930s, jazz and especially swing quickly became all the rage in Italy infecting authors, orchestras and singers, spreading a good mood and a sense of cheerfulness through the radio and in ballrooms.
