In the early twentieth century, African Americans started to gather around New Orleans. They'd come together to share and improvise each others musical creations. Even when they weren't always there in New Orleans, they would continue to call it their home. In 1922, the first commerical radio station, KDKA, had began to broadcast and spread rapidly. Along with that, jazz was spreading rapidly, being labely as modern, decadent, as well as sophisticated. Some say that this era, was the beginning of the modern era. It'd been after the influenza pandemic, and the new decade was going to be a change for everyone. Jazz brought direction to Broadway, as well as concert halls. It's  African Roots that had come to New Orleans, Chicago, and New York, and swept through the white race, sometimes clubs would have the African's playing jazz and then only allowed in whites. Even white people composed Jazz. It was really the roaring twenties. media type="custom" key="5872545" Work Cited:   http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/tbacig/studproj/is3099/jazzcult/20sjazz/ < Photo's http://www.d.umn.edu/cla/faculty/tbacig/studproj/is3099/jazzcult/20sjazz/upriver.html < Information http://www.musicforgifts.com/Memory%20Lane/Roaring4x4.jpg < Photo http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Louis_Armstrong_restored.jpg < Photo http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51El1Bw2uXL._SL500_.jpg < Photo  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Twenties < Information   http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1564.html < Information ====
