JAZZ AND THE ROARING TWENTIES BUILT ON THE BLUES

THE JAZZ AGE  AKA as the Golden Age or the Roaring Twenties.  The Great War had destroyed old perceived social conventions and new ones developed.. The Great War  The young set themselves free especially, the young women. They shocked the older generation with their new hair style (a short bob) and the clothes that they wore were often much shorter than had been seen and tended to expose their legs and knees.

Those racy young women!  They wore silk stockings rolled just above the knee wore short skirts, and they got their hair cut at male barbers. Smoking for women became cool. .

Remember, this was 93 years ago!  After the horror of the WWI, the younger generation mistrusted the older generation and ‘did their own thing’ which flew in the face of the establishment.  Linked to the growth of an alternate generation, was the growth in jazz. This led to new dances being created which further angered the older generation. The Charleston, One Step and Black Bottom were only for the young and the last one angered the establishment by name alone.

What happened during this decade?  Growth of the Ku Klux Klan.  Al Capone was the most famous gangster of the 1920s.  Radio (after WWII) brought news and entertainment to the masses.  The stock market crash of October 24,  Charles A. Lindbergh crossed the Atlantic Ocean by himself in an airplane 1927 as a 25- year-old.

So, what did the 1920s look like?  Let’s look at what was in fashion in the 1920s.

What is jazz?  Jazz is syncopated music that incorporates improvisation and involves extremely intelligent musicianship.  Originally used to mean most kinds of American popular and dance music.  Unique features of jazz are: emotional sounds and syncopated rhythms. Basically an improvised kind of music.  Jazz improviser creates and plays music simultaneously. A jazz solo should tell a story.  Originally based on 3 chords, the same form on which blues are based.

Why is jazz?  Jazz developed due to the Jim Crow Laws. Jim Crow Laws were enacted beginning in the 1880s in different locations. (The Supreme Court ruling in 1896 in Plessy v. Ferguson that separate facilities for whites and blacks were constitutional encouraged the passage of discriminatory laws that wiped out the gains made by blacks during Reconstruction.

Where was it and who was it.  Jazz started in New Orleans, traveled to Chicago, then to New York, and then to L.A.  The most famous jazzmen were, arguably, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller and Benny Goodman, but we will see others, too, that are considered THE GREATS.

What were the firsts?  The first jazz bands were usually made up of one or two cornet players, a clarinetist and trombonist who improvised countermelodies, and a rhythm section (piano, banjo, string bass or tuba, and drums).  First jazz record was made in 1917 by a New Orleans band--the Original Dixieland Jass Band, made up of white musicians who copied black styles.
