Jazz music has been one of my favorite types of music. I usually listen to jazz music when I want to relax and chill out. The Era of Jazz was incredible, all that passion for jazz and all the old time artists. Then Jazz music was about real talent. Nowadays artists imitate music from that Era (the early 1900’s). In the year 1935 there was a very big industry on Jazz music and number of different things. My favorite artists from that decade are these: Lee Wiley, Ella Fitzgerald and of course Louis Armstrong. Jazz was also used for the old time cartoons.
When Jazz became big in the industry of music, actors, dancers and singers wanted to be part of it. Jazz was usually sang, danced and acted by African Americans. Jazz music was also played in Europe at the time. Jazz was all over the place. It was played on radio stations day and night. Jazz was all about love and dance. People loved it. It was the most famous type of music. This brought something new to the table. Artists started singing and dancing to Jazz in a very rapid way.
I wish people my age still danced and listened to this type of music. Not how it is now, where you go to a party or something similar and the only music playing is R&B or Pop. Jazz has inspired me to be more open minded about the last Era. Then things were not as fake as now, artists had their own unique look, they didn’t try to look like someone else, like now artists start becoming famous because they started off copying someone else’s work. I wouldn’t mind going back in time to live those years.
