The art of jazz( A song from Billie Hoilday)

As African Americans migrated to cities like Chicago and New York in search of a better life, they brought something that made them smile and it was called jazz and the blues. Listening and dancing to something that made them smile. Jazz and the blues became part of their culture. For the first time radios and record players were widely available in stores. Jazz went from being played in New Orleans little towns to America's airwaves, dance halls, and living rooms.
