Jazz was and is a very popular musical genre that people listen to and which has influenced today's music due to its upbeat rhythm, originality and impact long-lasting. The decade of the 1920s was known as the Jazz Age ("The Jazz Age" was first introduced by F. Scott Fitzgerald), the Roaring Twenties, and also by other names because jazz music originated primarily in New Orleans and is a blend of many types of African and European music. Jazz was very popular and jazz was just emerging. At that time jazz was entertainment and much more. Jazz is not just music, it was a way for people to express themselves and their emotions. It also played a role in fashion and poetry. "Jazz dresses" and "jazz poems" also arose. Jazz was unique because it broke many social and musical rules. Instead of the regular and usual structure, jazz would be improvised by the musician. It provided people with a way to express themselves, gave them distinctive character and cultural freedom. New dances such as the Charleston and the One Step were created. The birth of jazz music is generally attributed to African Americans, but it expanded and over time became socially acceptable to middle-class white Americans. White artists were used to popularize jazz music in America. Although the jazz movement was taken up by the white middle-class population, it facilitated the fusion of African-American traditions with white middle-class society. Cities like New York and Chicago were cultural centers for jazz, and especially for African-American artists. Some famous black artists of the time were Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Count Basie. Jazz was not always appreciated and appreciated by most, once upon a time people were at the center of the paper. .us, or unsure about. After all, jazz was created from a mixture of things like folk songs, spirituals, and things that helped black slaves get through hard days in the field. In me, it gave me a sudden urge to get up and start dancing, and I think that's also a reason why people enjoy listening to it today and in the 1920s. Not all music gives us that sudden urge to get up and start moving to the soft sound of the trombone, trumpet or clarinet. Jazz is still listened to and loved by many. You can also hear jazz in some parts of today's pop music and in other genres such as hip hop. The quote from The Great Gatsby, “'You can't repeat the past.'….'You can't repeat the past?' he shouted in disbelief. 'Of course you can!'” (ch. 6) comes to mind because fashions, styles, music and events sooner or later return and are evident in recent years.
