Jazz age
People who had a gift for music, writing, and singing thought that they needed to do something, because people were so depressed and sad. With their gifts, they helped people get out of being in a slump. I think that if we did not have these famous artists to make people happy during the sad times, people would still be sad. These artists have affected us and America. Some of the artists are Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Langston Hughes.
jazz as musiC
Jazz originated in the U.S. the golden age of jazz was the 1920's. The jazz was fully developed or introduced in New Orleans. I feel that New Orleans was a good place for jazz to develop, because they play a lot of trumpet there. Also in jazz they play the trumpet. In New Orleans it is like a jackpot for music, you see it everywhere. The blues is a kind of jazz that is famous in the south. I think that maybe the jazz blues may be like or similar to the old southern and western music. There are many types of jazz, like the Boogie-woogie.
Jazz has taken many different forms today like bebop.
