1920's Jazz Music

     African Americans in the United States were barely getting used to social equality in the 1920's. Jazz music was a major social factor for African Americans in helping them get used to social equality. This was when African Americans were able to get music records, set a basis for upcoming music, and most importantly, gave African Americans a chance to intermix with Americans in the music world. This is what lead to the type of Jazz, and Jazz based music we have today. Many important musicians started their career in the early twentieth century.
     This was also the time period where Jazz became of great importance in not only the media, but also many families. Jazz was mainly popular in New Orleans, Chicago, and San Fransisco. Throughout the years, the number of these cities increased, and so did its popularity. Although it was very popular amongst African Americans, there was no doubt that white Americans were interested in Jazz as well. America's sudden spark of interest in this new type of music, greatly affected what music was known as to people across the United States.
