about

the swing kids where a german youth counter cultural group who loved swing music and spoke their own form of slang.

as the crack down on freedoms in nazi germany intensified they became more politicised and even formed loose connections with the white rose movement.

many swing kids where taken to concentration camps for, basically, loving jazz.

thank you to the artist ship canal for alerting me to the existence of this group. i hope this can go some way towards creating the body of jazz music that should exist to lionise this group.

you can find music by ship canal here: herhalen.bandcamp.com/album/bourgeois-kerb-stomp
