Chicago is pivotal to the history of jazz as it became a major hub for the genre during the Great Migration, when many African American musicians moved from the South to the North. The city fostered a vibrant nightlife and music scene in the 1920s and 1930s, allowing artists like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington to thrive. Chicago's distinctive style, characterized by its use of improvisation and the blues, helped shape the evolution of jazz, further solidifying its cultural significance. The city's iconic venues and festivals continue to celebrate and promote jazz, ensuring its legacy endures.

Because, upon the enforced closure of Storyville in New Orleans, many jazz musicians were thrown out of work and they left town and headed to Chicago where there was still plenty of work for musicians to be found. King Oliver, one of the most famous New Orleans band leaders took his whole band later sending for the young Louis Armstrong to come and join the band on second cornet. Louis was such a phenomenon that many jazz musicians flocked to Chicago just to hear him play and learn from him. Chicago then replaced New Orleans as the most happening jazz city in the US. There was very little jazz activity in New York at that time.
