The swinger symbol "The swing" has been opted by the swinger community to identify each other in public on wristbands and accessories. The symbol shows a simplified black swing surrounded by a circle on a red background. The swing is very abstract to assure discretion and leave space for imagination. Red represents Passion, Love and Stimulation. Black shows mystery, limits and secrecy. The abstract swing represents the swinging lifestyle. The circle is associated with the group and the community sharing the same interests and the strong bond in couples.
It's often difficult to recognize other swingers in public. They don't have a tag on the forehead with a note like: "I am a swinger and I am looking for a great time with like-minded people". Fortunately, some wear the swing symbol on their wristband or clothes to make contacts easier.

In jazz music, the ability to improvise with soul, creativity, and individuality, while still remaining organically connected to the sound being put out by the band as a whole.
The ability to swing is what distinguishes a good jazz player from a bad one. Lack of soul (Kenny G) or showboating (Jaco Pastorius toward the end of his career) are antithetical to swing.
Normally used in the context of acoustic jazz, but equally applicable to fusion, jazz-funk, etc. Not be confused with "swing" as a genre. (While a good Swing musician must know how to "swing," one can swing in just about any genre involving improvised music).

Man, that sax player sure knows how to swing.
I wasn't feeling the band last night. They kept trying, but they just couldn't swing.

To behave in a fun, self-confident, and charismatic manner typically associated with just the right balance of Cuban bravado. This can be perceived in a dance like quality to the walk similar to an upbeat Salsa.

Possibly the greatest music form of all time. Originated in the early 1920's, originated from early jazz types and strong African-American influence. Strong comeback of Swing occured in 1998 with bands like the Cherry Poppin Daddies and The Straycats.
