Jazz and American Culture

The Eurocentric hierarchy of cultures established at the turn of the century denigrated the new American music known as jazz. In contrast to harmonious, complex, exclusive Culture, jazz was denounced as discordant, uncivilized, overly accessible, and subversive to reason and order. Although there was no significant reversal of these attitudes until after World War II, jazz musicians, convinced that their art was an integral vibrant part of American culture, helped to revolutionize our notions of culture by transcending the adjectival cultural categories and insisting that there were no boundary lines to art.
