... Although many different types of music sprung up in the 1920s, jazz and the blues appeared to be the genres that defined the era.
Jazz sprung up in Chicago and New York, and was primarily called New Orleans style jazz. From this style came four major types of jazz; Boogie-Woogie, Chicago Jazz, Urban Blues, and Society Dance Bands. Because of the popularity of night clubs during Prohibition, these styles of jazz thrived so musicians were guaranteed jobs. The popularity of the phonograph also provided a huge boost to the music industry during the 1920s. ... The second type of jazz popular during this time was called Chicago jazz. ... Chicago jazz tended to be very aggressive and usually ended abruptly. ... It was only after the stock market crash in 1929 that New York replaced Chicago as a jazz capital. This style of jazz was tighter and more rehearsed than others.
The next kind of jazz to emerge during the 1920s was Urban Blues. ... The last major style of jazz to emerge from Chicago during the 1920s was Society Dance Bands. ...
There were many musicians known as the main movers and shakers to come out of Chicago during the 1920s.
