BP#3- Research on Harlem sejung

Music in Harlem  

  According to http://www.yale.edu/ynhti/curriculum/units/1989/1/89.01.05.x.html website, the impact of  the Music of the Harlem Renaissance on Society was very important in history.  The Dutch setted first in Harlem at a village with Brooklyn originally around 1613 but today, the area of a black and hispanic community in Manhattan are called harlem. Around the year 1918, Southern blacks rooted in the traditions of  blues mixed and northern blacks created more artistic and intellectual growth.

       Willy         Jazz was the sound of the 1920s.  Jazz of 1920's Harlem was amaizing. Jazz became the "peoples" music to black people and that became one of their own cultural life and tranditions. Jazz was very popular and it became a huge business. Harlem Renaissance music was mostly lived in the clubs. In the early years of  Harlem Resassiance, Men like Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, and Willie "The Lion" Smith were the people who had powerful effects during that period.
During the Harlem Renaissance, music was their soul. They created blues, jazz and other things and that still effects out history of music now. Before jazz created, music was only available to wealthy black family but after Harlem styled jazz, the music grew up more. It was not only for wealthy blacks, but also for whites. Jazz's popularity was spread out  through all country.

  2. you are right! Jazz had changed harlem's culture and views. I think Jazz was a kind of new religion not only in Harlem, but almost everywhere in the country. your "BP" is so explicit and expose the true culture of Harlem.
    But only Jazz made the history in Harlem?
