Share this page. Jazz has been called America's classical music, and for good reason. Along with the blues, its forefather, it is one of the first truly indigenous musics to develop in America, yet its unpredictable, risky ventures into improvisation gave it critical cache with scholars that the blues lacked. At the outset, jazz was dance music, performed by swinging big bands.
The Jazz Age was a period in the 1920s, ending with the Great Depression, in which jazz music and dance became popular, mainly in the United States, but also in Britain, France and elsewhere.or the 2012 album by Bryan Ferry, see The Jazz Age (The Bryan Ferry Orchestra album) .
