The Jazz Age was the period roughly coinciding with the 1920s (ending with the The Great Depression) when jazz music and dance became popular. This occurred particularly in the United States, but also in the United Kingdom, France, and other countries. Jazz played a significant part in wider cultural changes during the period, and its influence on pop culture continued long afterwards.
