Taken from WIKI...

The term "new jack swing" was coined in a 1988 Village Voice profile of Teddy Riley by Barry Michael Cooper. "New Jack" was a slang term used in a song by Grandmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers, and "swing" was intended by Cooper to draw an "analogy between the music played at the speakeasies of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s time to the crackhouses of Teddy Riley’s time."

The term "new jack swing" describes the sound produced and engineered by R&B/hip hop artist and producer Teddy Riley. Riley is an American R&B and hip hop singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. He led the band Guy in the 1980s and Blackstreet in the 1990s. Riley said, "I define the term as a new kid on the block who's swinging it."

Here's another - nice feelgood vibe to it. I was really into my New Jack Swing (or Swingbeat as it was also known).

I always thought cause it was a funked up version of the swing music from the 50's. i mean the beat is the same you can swing dance to both.
