In jazz and related musical styles the term swing is used to describe the sense of propulsive rhythmic feel or groove created by the musical interaction between the performers especially when the music creates a visceral response such as feet-tapping or head-nodding (see pulse). The term swing is also used to refer to several other related jazz concepts including the swung note (a lilting rhythm of unequal notes) and the genre of swing a jazz style which originated in the 1930s.
