Why was jazz music and funk a sin in black churches?

Jazz Music and funk were often considered sinful in some black churches due to their roots in secular culture and perceived association with hedonism and moral decay. The improvisational and expressive nature of these genres sometimes clashed with traditional worship practices, leading to concerns about their appropriateness in sacred spaces. Additionally, the rhythms and styles of jazz and funk could be seen as distracting from the solemnity of worship, which emphasized reverence and spiritual focus.
