"Jazzonia" is set in a cabaret featuring Jazz Music, as jazz is one of the staples of the the Harlem Renaissance. Jazzonia is basically a country of jazz, denoting the importance of the art form to American culture.

"Jazzonia," as a poem, is structured like a jazz song with variations upon a familiar theme (i.e., "oh silver tree," "oh singing tree," "oh shining tree").

There are sexual, drunken images of the jazz club that emphasize the fun, visceral atmosphere of the room. The idea is that jazz is earthy, humanly, and utterly fascinating to the culture. The sexual images reside in allusions to Eve and Cleopatra.
