All About Jazz
Jazz music was originated in 1895 in New Orleans, Louisiana with help from Africa and Europe. After it was recognized as a type of music in the early 1920s, it spread mainly to Chicago, then the entire nation, and eventually the world. When other races were introduced to the new sound, racism started to arise. Only the African-Americans were able to play for other African-Americans, as for other races.
