Several outstanding musicians emerged as leading jazz artists in Chicago
Although Chicago's South Side was the main jazz center, some musicians in New York were also demanding attention in jazz circles .
By the 1930's big dance bands were the rage . Large numbers of people went to ballrooms to dance to jazz music played by big bands.
