The Influence of Jazz

After the Jazz Age in the 1920s, jazz music slowly shifted into an intellectual art form with the introduction of bebop, swing, big band, and other subgenres. Even excluding the new experimentation, jazz music dominated popular culture. The mixture of catchy tunes and improvisational melodies enchanted people of all ages until the 1950s. If people weren’t listening to jazz on the radio, they were frequenting jazz clubs to dance alongside the music late into the night. Notable saxophone players include Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Stan Getz.
