  • a district associated with musicians, composers, and publishers

of popular music - such music usually premiered on the stage. Later, traveling theater and vaudeville troupes spread the songs throughout the land. Sheridan's Orpheum, Gem and Lotus theaters had weekly programs where comedic skits and tumbling acts were interspersed with "the Newest Musical Selections." The musical forms that most impacted the 1910s and 20s - ragtime, blues and jazz - rose from the African-American community and are recognized as distinctly original American art forms. Originally played in saloons and bawdy houses, ragtime was a worldwide craze for years. Blues Music, much of it from the southern United States, was slower and more introspective. Both were immensely popular, but the music that accompanied the age of the Flapper and the Flaming Youth was jazz, Jazz, JAZZ! Source: http://www.trailend.org/dow-jazzage.htm
