At each of their meetings, Valene politely inclined her head and passed on; but he perceived her dark glance to be full of passionate fire; he found encouragement in her ravaged complexion and in the supple swing of her gait.
A chacune de leurs rencontres, Valérie répondait poliment de la tête, sans jamais s'arrêter; mais il voyait son regard noir brûler de passion, il trouvait des encouragements dans son teint ravagé et dans le balancement souple de sa taille.

Many blues and jazz singers from Jimmy Rushing to Ella Fitzgerald often stretch words so that their endings fall on two and four, adding to the syncopated swing.
De nombreux bluesmen et jazzmen, de Jimmy Rushing à Ella Fitzgerald, allongent certains mots des paroles pour qu'ils finissent sur le deuxième ou le quatrième temps, ce qui rajoute encore à la syncope sur laquelle repose le swing.

Bass drums became much smaller and portable for road trips; they produced a tighter sound suited to up-tempo swing and bebop.
Les grosses caisses devinrent au fur et à mesure de plus en plus petites, ce qui les rendit plus faciles à transporter et ce qui leur donna un son plus tendu, bien adapté au rythme rapide du swing et du be-bop.

Then, all goes out, and while each tramping soldier's legs swing to and fro, his eye is fixed inflexibly upon the conjectural situation of the back that dwells in front of him.

In swing and bebop, drummers added more cymbals and expanded their role, keeping steady time or adding crashes to accent emotional high points.
Les batteurs de swing et de be-bop ajoutèrent à leur batterie de nombreuses autres cymbales qu'ils utilisaient pour marquer la mesure, ponctuer les différentes parties d'un morceau, ou renforcer l'intensité d'un passage.
