This is an cultural study about the effects of jazz on America in the 1920s. Jazz had a profound impact at this time, and became a subject of huge controversy. Its raw emotion and sexuality, its extraordinary artistic innovation, and the speed of its communities to the broader worlds of Chicago and New York, were both shocking and powerfully attractive at the same time. Kathy Ogren first describes the dissemination of jazz from its roots in the deep south to the cabarets and nightclubs of the north, and through recordings and radio. She then focuses on the dynamically opposed attitudes that the early jazz boom produced, both in blacks and whites, and provides new insights into the music's sociological impact and importance.

The 1920s were not called the Jazz Age for nothing. Celebrated by writers from Langston Hughes to Gertrude Stein, jazz was the dominant influence on American popular music, despite resistance from whites who distrusted its vibrant expression of black culture and by those opposed to the overt sexuality and raw emotion of the `devil's music'. As Kathy Ogren shows, the breathless pace and syncopated rhythms were as much a part of twenties America as Prohibition and the economic boom, which enabled millions throughout the states to enjoy the latest sounds on radios and phonographs.
