Harlem Renaissance 1 - Jackson, Haley, Abbie, Caitlin

Jazz was the sound of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, it was the peoples music even with all of the trouble of accepting colored people. Harlem Renaissance music was defined by the lively clubs and characters who constantly improved and modified jazz's sound. Lots of people were into playing and listening to jazz. Jazz was first documented in New Orleans in the 1920's, it was a fusion of marches, ragtime, popular songs, and the blues. Nightclubs like the Savoy Ballroom, the Apollo Theater, and the Cotton Club were perfect venues to play at so that everyone could enjoy the sounds of jazz. "Crazy Blues" is considered the first blues song, it was recorded by Mamie Smith and with today's standards it is a platinum hit! Bessie smith was another very popular singer right after Mamie Smith. Everyone was into jazz music at the time, whether you were white or black everyone enjoyed it and loved dancing to it! Harlem Renaissance music was more than just music, for many, jazz was a way of life. AbbieHaleyJackson

Paragraph #1 Examples

Miley Cyrus has greatly disappointed her father and many of here fans with her recent actions. From her recent music videos "We can't stop" and "Wrecking ball" she seems to be falling apart. It all started with the hair cut which seemed to be a big deal in the news for the first few days. Her disengagement with Liam was another big problem which caused her to spiral downhill majorly. Also she has this crazy idea that she can "twerk" which is just..no, she needs to stop. Her performance at the VMA's was just horrible, there are not enough words in the English dictionary to describe it. All in all she should just stop doing this "act" of hers and go to Church.

So my dad ended up going to work for 2 days before he could get a hair cut and I felt kinda bad but it was really funny
