To summarize some of the major genres in the 1930's: Jazz in several forms; in particular, small groups and larger dance bands. Many dance bands played a more heavily arranged form of jazz known as Swing. Blues, mostly performed by black musicians in that terribly segregated era. "Sweet" music, sort of like jazz in orchestration but (at least in my opinion) with a lot of saccharine easy-listening aspects to it. Vocal groups such as the Mills Brothers, the Andrews Sisters, the Pied Pipers, and so on. Solo vocalists such as Bing Crosby, usually backed by an orchestra and sometimes by a small vocal group.

So I think for our group we need to find a lot of jazz music that is fitting for the time this is set in. So far I have found two songs that I like the sound of, which i think will sound appropriate for alot of the scenes we have, for example bar music, or dance music. Of course in this day, jazz was the most popular genre of music, so we will only be using this sort of music to help the audience understand what time period our performance is set in.
