African American musicians in New Orleans developed an entirely new kind of music called jazz. This genre emerged in the early 20th century, blending elements of African rhythms, blues, and ragtime. Jazz is characterized by its improvisational style and unique instrumentation, reflecting the cultural diversity and rich musical heritage of the city. It has since influenced countless Music Genres worldwide, making New Orleans a pivotal hub in the evolution of modern music.

Some of the top African American violin players include Joseph White, who was a prominent figure in the early 20th century, and the contemporary virtuoso, Regina Carter, known for her innovative blending of classical and jazz. Other notable musicians include William Levy, who was the first African American to graduate from the Juilliard School, and Anthony McGill, the first African American principal player of the New York Philharmonic. These artists have significantly contributed to the visibility and appreciation of African American talent in classical and contemporary music.
