Many people around the world listen to jazz, and few of them from my personal experience know about it. Whenever I hear jazz music I remember the state of Louisiana, Chicago city, and New York City. Jazz has been a part of a proud African American tradition for over 100 years, I wasn’t wrong when I said that it remind me of Louisiana state, because it roots goes back to 1910 in New Orleans, and it’s not only a music it’s more like a culture.
From the very start, jazz has been about liberty, effort and discrete appearance. Its break from musical tradition and highlighted on improvisation and innovation set it up as the background to cultural changes, and it influences international culture today. Jazz is played, with its own local talent, on every land.
“During Prevention and the economic success of the 1920s, jazz became the soundtrack to parties in underground clubs, called "speakeasies," where pleasure ruled and outlawed liquor was consumed. Because of its roots in African-American culture, and the places, occasions and activities with which it was associated, jazz initially bore the label of "low culture."” (http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/jazz3.htm)
