	Jazz Age - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The focus of the elements of this age, in some contrast with the Roaring Twenties, in historical and cultural studies, are somewhat different, with a greater emphasis on Modernism.
		Among the prominent concerns and trends of the period are the public embrace of technological developments (typically seen as progress)—cars, air travel and the telephone—as well as new modernist trends in social behavior, the arts, and culture.
		A great theme of the age was individualism and a greater emphasis on the pursuit of pleasure and enjoyment in the wake of the misery, destruction and perceived hypocrisy and waste of WWI and pre-war values.

		The 1920s are generally referred to as "The Jazz Age", and the 20s are usually thought of as the first truly modern decade.

	Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jazz is often difficult to define, but improvisation is a key element of the form.
		In some modern jazz compositions where the underlying chords of the composition are particularly complex or fast moving, the composer or performer may create a set of "blowing changes," which is a simplified set of chords better suited for comping and solo improvisation.
		Village Voice jazz critic Gary Giddins argues that as the creation and dissemination of jazz is becoming increasingly institutionalized and dominated by major entertainment firms, jazz is facing a "...perilous future of respectability and disinterested acceptance".

	MIXED PICKLES Vintage Dance Time Line - Jazz Era
		The new jazz and jazz dancing were not popular with everyone.
		It was the era of "pep" personified by the slim girlish "flapper" with her bobbed hair and short skirts and her male companion, the "sheik" with his ukelele, raccoon coat and bell-bottomed "Oxford bags." Dancing began to actively involve the upper body for the first time as women began shaking their torsos in the Shimmy.
		On the heels of the Charleston followed the Black Bottom, which like many jazz era dances was adapted from fl theater dance and the Varsity Drag which was introduced in the Broadway musical "Good News." A new style of Blues Dancing also developed to fit the disreputable atmosphere of the speakeasy.

	::The Jazz Age::
		In 1920's America - known as the Jazz Age, the Golden Twenties or the Roaring Twenties - everybody seemed to have money.
		Linked to the growth of an alternate generation, was the growth in jazz.
		Along with jazz went the ‘crazies’ when people would do crazy things for fun such as sitting on top of a flag pole for as long as possible; marathon dances that went on until everybody had dropped and wing flying when you stood strapped onto the wing of a flying plane until it landed.

	The Jazz Age: Charleston & Beyond, The Literature of the Jazz Age
		The Jazz Age: Charleston and Beyond, The Literature of the Jazz Age
		In "Echoes of the Jazz Age" (1931), F. Scott Fitzgerald observed of the Twenties that "It was an age of miracles, it was an age of art, it was an age of excess, and it was an age of satire." The truth of his observation is easily seen in the literature of the period.
		The exuberance and rebellious spirit of the decade are also embodied in the stylistic experimentation and iconoclastic subject matter of modernist poets such as E. Cummings and playwrights such as Eugene O'Neill, two of many artists who flourished in the bohemian world of Greenwich Village, one of the lively intellectual centers of the Jazz Age.
