Territory bands were dance bands that crisscrossed specific regions of the United States from the 1920s through the 1960s. Beginning in the 1920s, the bands typically had 8 to 12 musicians. These bands typically played one-nighters, six or seven nights a week at venues like VFW halls, Elks Lodges, Lions Clubs, hotel ballrooms, and the like. Francis Davis, jazz critic for The Village Voice, likened territory bands to "the Top 40 cover bands (of the 1970s and 1980s) of their day, typically relying on stock arrangements of other ensembles' hits." He said, "many historians give much credit to territory bands for popularizing modern ballroom dancing that began during the World War I era with the influence of Vernon and Irene Castle."

  • Territory-Bands (in der einschlägigen Literatur meist Territory Bands) nannte man in der Ära der Swingbands der 1930er Jahre jene Bands, die nicht in den Metropolen des Jazz wie New York City oder Chicago ansässig waren. Zudem waren sie in ihrem Aktionsradius auf ein bestimmtes Gebiet beschränkt, das sie in Wettkämpfen gegen andere Bands (Battle of Bands) verteidigten. (de)
  • Las territory bands eran las bandas de jazz, sobre todo del swing, de las décadas de 1920, 1930 y 1940, que actuaban en giras por "su" territorio alejados de los núcleos urbanos de Nueva York o Chicago y que ofrecían al público la música en directo de importantes artistas discográficos de la época, como Duke Ellington y Louis Armstrong.​ Muchos de los artistas de jazz relevantes de las décadas siguientes, como Count Basie, Lester Young, Jimmy Rushing o Jay McShann tuvieron sus comienzos en estas bandas.
