The Jazz Age the period of the 1920s, the years between the end of the First World War and the beginning of the Great Depression in America, where the African Americans brought their culture and new jazz music and dance. Styles of music Dixieland and Blues and Charleston styles became immensely popular. Other dances such as Cake Walk, the Turkey Trot, the Black bottom and Bunny Hug gained popularity. Louis Daniel Armstrong displayed his amazing talents as a trumpeter, comet player, and singer during the jazz age. Scott Fitzgerald was perhaps the first author who coined the name “jazz age” referring to the wealthy White flappers, whose antics were immortalised in the cartoons of John Jr. In the 1920s, a new woman was born. She was the heroine of the jazz age. The flapper was a new rebel defying old of acceptable feminine behaviour and no longer confined to home and tradition. She smoked in the public, drank, exposed her limbs and danced the nights away. In the Jazz Age, the female bust was suppressed, the waist disappeared, the shoulders became broader and narrow boyish hips were preferred. Health and beauty clubs emerged which helped women their silhouettes while getting fitter and healthier.
