"Race music" (race records) is a term applied to gramophone records from the 1920's and 1930's that featured music in a variety of African-American genres such as jazz, boogie-woogie, blues, jump blues, and rhythm and blues.

From 1949 to 1958, the term "race records" denoted the category of music now termed "rhythm and blues".

Who made jazz music?

Jazz evolved partly out of gospel music of the African-Americans, and partly out of their "field hollers" they would call back and forth while at work. They began to experiment with the rhythms, and jazz evolved out of that. Improvisation is a basic tenet of jazz (and blues). There is also an old joke that jazz was invented when a cow swallowed a bottle of ink and "mooed indigo". :>D
