Jazz It Up Socks

Jazz emerged in the late 19th century in the United States and quickly became one of the most influential musical genres of its time. With its improvisational flair, jazz was a musical playground where musicians could create their own harmonies and explore new rhythms.

But jazz is more than just music. For African American musicians, jazz was a powerful tool of expression that conveyed their culture and identity, broke down racial barriers, and brought together musicians of different races and backgrounds.

Jazz music was also a force for social change, paving the way for acceptance and understanding. 

So let's celebrate the Birth of the Cool by swinging to the rhythm and pulling out our jazz hands!
