Answers:

Everyone has provided a lot of great answers, but for me the 1930's are all about one man . . .

Chick Webb

The Chick Webb Orchestra, with Chick behind the drums, became the house band of the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem in 1931, where they would perform in "Battle of the Bands" against greats like Benny Goodman and Count Basie. (The Savoy Ballroom was considered the hub of the swing era, and is the origin of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers who developed swing dancing and swing aerials that forever changed how the dance looked.)

In 1935, Chick Webb brought a young teenager singer into the band . . . her name was Ella Fitzgerald, and after Chick's death in 1939, she took over as leader of the band and performend with them for the remainder of the swing era.

So look up everyone's suggestions, but don't miss out on probably the most influential band of the 1930s.
