Question

ASAP What could jazz musicians do to help increase the exposure of jazz in today's culture?

Answer 1

Answer: In the early twentieth century jazz was a regionally based, racially defined dance

music that featured solo and collective improvisation. Originating in New Orleans, jazz

soon spread throughout the country as musicians left the South for better opportunities—

both economic and social—elsewhere in the country. Jazz greatly increased in popularity

during the 1920s. No longer a regional music dominated by African Americans, jazz in

the 1920s helped define a generation torn between the Victorian society of nineteenth

century America and the culture of modernity that was quickly defining the early

twentieth century. Jazz and its eventual popularity represented the cultural tensions

present in modern America, and the acceptance of jazz reflected the degree to which

Americans rejected or accepted traditional values. This dissertation examines the

historical context of this larger transformation America underwent in the 1920s
