With the Roaring Twenties came a surge in music that represented good times and prosperity in America. The period of time from 1920 leading up to the Great Depression is referred to as the Jazz Age for its introduction of jazz music, dance and stars into mainstream popular culture.

This book looks at the Jazz Age, its influences, the dances made popular during the era, and the musicians, band leaders and songs that are Jazz Age classics, including "Blue Skies" and "Stardust."
