Jazz, Ragtime and Broadway musicals were features of 1920s music. Jazz
gained popularity in America and worldwide by the 1920s. Nothing quite
like it had ever happened before in America. New exuberant dances were
devised to take advantage of the upbeat tempo of Jazz and Ragtime
music. By the mid-1920s, jazz was being played in dance halls and
roadhouses and speakeasies all over the country. Early jazz influences
found their first mainstream expression in the music used by marching
bands and dance bands of the day, which was the main form of popular
concert music in the early twentieth century.
