Ellington was one of the first to write and play (and conduct) jazz music of the swing type that was popular to all, not just with jazz enthusiasts. Also some of the Duke's songs are still very popular and very recognizable, today.

The Harlem Renaissance brought the world brilliant writers whose works are as relevant today as they were during the Renaissance. Writers such as Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes and entertainers like Paul Robeson, Duke Ellington set literary and performance standards around the world. It also produced music styles that are still dominant today. Jazz and blues have become international music genres that helped shape and form dominant popular music styles such as Rock and Rhythm and Blues.

It celebrated African American culture through literature, music, visual arts, and performance, showcasing the talents of figures like Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Duke Ellington. This period marked a significant shift in the portrayal and perception of African Americans, fostering a sense of racial pride and identity. The Harlem Renaissance laid the groundwork for future civil rights movements and continues to influence American culture today.

Louis Armstrong is often considered the most important musician in the history of jazz, particularly during the Harlem Renaissance. His innovative trumpet playing and distinctive vocal style helped to shape the genre and popularize it worldwide. Armstrong's influence extended beyond music; he broke racial barriers and brought jazz to mainstream audiences, making him a pivotal figure in American culture. His contributions continue to resonate in jazz and popular music today.
The movement is called the Harlem Renaissance because it prominently took place in Harlem, a neighborhood in New York City that was a center of African American culture during the 1920s and 1930s. It was a period of artistic and intellectual flourishing, with writers, artists, musicians, and scholars contributing to a powerful cultural movement.
I feel that the music industry and the music has generally grown compared to the yester years.
