Jazz
In the early 20th century Jazz was greatly appreciated by many. In Jacobs’ Band Monthly, Volume 4, published in October of 1919, jazz was described as a type of music that was moving and had great energy. “It tickles up and down your spine, the violins and cellos whine, the cymbals clash, the big cornet mixed in with the flageolet in that syncopating, aggravating, animating, palpitating, fascinating, something that is…JAZZ.” According to the Ngram viewer, Jazz didn’t come about until around 1915. This is what I expected because when I think of jazz music I think of the roaring 20s, which is very flashy and extravagant.
