Jazz review -
20’s and teens - early Creole jazz as developed in New Orleans and recorded in Chicago; Satchmo. Hot dance music.

30’s, 40’s - Swing jazz by big bands. Fletcher Henderson, Benny Goodman. Loud dance music.

Modern jazz: 50’s bebop - fast tempos, asymmetrical phrasing, intricate melodies. Not dance music.
