What changed during the Jazz Age in the 1920's?

I understand this a very vague question, I apologize. However if it has anything to do with the Great Gatsby novel that would be great. For an example, I've heard that in the 1920s jazz started coming into adulthood. And I'm sure that prohibition affected significantly. Any comment is very appreciated. Thanks|||I really can't say much for "Gatsby"





Good point on Prohibition and the reason was that people were going into a depression so many were looking for satisdfaction in Music, Why I said swing was a huge factor was because people just had the money to get into Jazz clubs and drink and listen to the music So when you have this environments iof no alchohol paired with music you have created an atmosphere that said "entertainment" and Jazz(In the 20s it was swing dominant) that was the main source of entertainment





the use of Horns became prevailant. in the 20's this is huge and the reason Swing was so popular was because of the horns which werere very new to many ears (this I believe was the biggest reason of all)





And Along with that "Swing" Or the "Swing era" was the norm.





when US soldiers are were going into a R%26amp;R they typically got drunk and watched the swing In clubs wherever they found it, So prohibition played a purpose The bigger (biggest) factor was that Jazz was inducing a new Horn sound which was very imporant in Jazz evolution





And I don't think thst Jazz was coming into adulthood I think it became into it's adulthood in the 30s (the depression paired with ww2 is a huge factor in why that is don't agree with Jazz's adulthood was in the 20's


I have heard much about "gatsby" I should read it but always in college until this year (taking music and history of music classes) So i will be doing that asap,|||My theory, if you can say, is that in the 20's, the blues started to grow at a very low pace, but still it counted. Blues talked more about sad or even dark stuff, like alcoholism, fears, deaths (that's what they called "dark") while jazz talked about softer stuff like women, money...women...


The climax of that "battle" was in the 30's when Robert Johnson became the biggest exponent of the blues.
