The History of Jazz Clubs
Jazz originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in New Orleans, Louisiana, and quickly spread to other cities in the United States. Jazz was often played in small groups, and these groups began performing in nightclubs in the 1910s and 1920s.
The Cotton Club in Harlem was one of the most famous, frequented by wealthy patrons and featuring performances by Duke Ellington and other famous jazz musicians, jazz clubs soon began popping up in cities across the country, including New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. In the 1920s, jazz music and jazz clubs became associated with the Roaring Twenties, a period of social and cultural change in the United States. Jazz clubs were seen as places where people could escape the stresses of everyday life and let loose.
