People were very, very attracked to jazz in the 1920's. It was the new hip thing to be listening to! Who wouldn't love it. It's like today's Fergie or Alicia Keys. People were getting paid more so they had more to spend on luxary things and had more time to do whatever. They didn't really have that many ways to entertain themselves, and what they did have was getting kind of old. So the PixieLand Jazz Band came around and they were a HIT! Some others in New Orleans, like Lois Armstong and Duke Ellington picked up their jazzy, swing type music and went with it. It was the start of a new music generation!!!!
