Some Jazzy vernacular Foxtrot in 1929:
The swing music from the Jazz Age and Swing Era that is played at swing dances today, is almost always described, on the original records and sheet music, as music for Fox Trot (the vernacular Fox Trot of the time), because that is what people mostly danced in the Jazz Age and Swing Era, including to swing music.
