The Jazz Age
The Jazz Age was a movement
that took place during the 1920s
or the RoaringTwenties from
which jazz music and dance
emerged.
The movement came about with
the introduction of main stream
radio and the end of the war. This
era ended in the 1930s with the
beginning of The Great
Depression but has lived on in
American pop culture for decades.

The birth of jazz music is often accredited to African
Americans but expanded and modified to become
socially acceptable to middle-class white Americans.
Even though the jazz movement was taken over by
the middle class white population, it facilitated the
mesh of African American traditions and ideals with
the white middle class society
Areas like New York and Chicago were cultural
centers for jazz, and especially for African American
artists. In urban areas, African American jazz was
played on the radio more often than in the suburbs.
1920s youth used the influence of jazz to rebel
against the traditional culture of previous
generations. This youth rebellion of the 1920s went
hand-in-hand with fads like bold fashion statements
(flappers) and new radio concerts

As the 1920s wore on, jazz, despite competition with
classical music, rose in popularity and helped to
generate a cultural shift.
Dances like the Charleston, developed by African
Americans, suddenly became popular among
younger demographics
With the beginning of large-scale radio broadcasts in
1922, Americans were able to experience different
styles of music without physically visiting a jazz
club.
The radio provided Americans with a trendy new
avenue for exploring the world through broadcasts
and concerts from the comfort of their living room

Jazz artists like Louis Armstrong originally
received very little airtime because most
stations preferred to play the music of white
American jazz singers.
Big-band jazz, like that of James Reese
Europe and Fletcher Henderson in New York,
was also popular on the radio
This style represented African Americans in
the cultural scene predominately controlled
by white Americans
