It is clear that after yesterday's class, Jazz music was a great era in American history. Jazz is a type of music that is able to unite all races with its likings. With this in mind, this time period was able to draw together all types of people for entertainment, including jazz music and performances. The unique rhythm in jazz is what stood out from the rest of music. Music became the center of peoples lives, attending dinners and concert halls to see the greatest musicians. Furthermore, I believe that Jazz came about from many different aspects at the time.
As Broadway began to be an American classic, the culture was also being transformed through music. There was a period of rapid modernization in society, and people were beginning to express themselves more openly through the way they dressed to the music they listened to. Women exposed themselves more, and were more provocative and slowly accepted in society. One of the reasons I feel that this occurred is because of the alcohol prohibition. People still wanted to sneak around the law and have fun, and one way to do this was to enjoy new American music.
