Dude its not about the medoly or the beat. Swing is all about the rhythm that goes with the beat and being able to improvise a solo along with the song. And today I bet that none of the BS rap and hip-pop artists cant even play what the Swing Era had.

The term "opus" is used to classify a composer's work, but it is used primarily for classical music. For example, the fourth collection that a composer assembled would be called Opus 4. This piece is titled "Opus One" as a joke, mocking the formal notation of pieces.

People are rating your comment negatively because it's a term that you should learn early on in any music study.
