             The Harlem Renaissance.

             The place of growth was known as New York City. The time of year.

             was the 1920s. This time period was also known as the Jazz Age. The.

             music was played mostly in a Manhattan neighborhood known as Harlem. .

             "When blues was hot and jazz was a growing stay in America"s.

             culture; when speakeasies were filled with both blacks and whites dancing.

             to the 'rhythms of life" set out by the saxophone, trumpet, and drums.".

             ("Harlem"). This is the definition of the Harlem Renaissance. This.

             definition is true in many ways. The Harlem Renaissance was around the.

             time period of the 1920s and 1930s. The only aspect that I might know.

             about the Harlem Renaissance is that there were a lot of poetry, books, and.

             music going around. There were numerous clubs and places to 'hang out" in.

             Harlem. The clubs were filled with over three hundred well-dressed blacks.

             and whites. .

             The main interest of the clubs were the music and dancing. "Jazz.

             music, invented by black musicians in New Orleans, Louisiana, hit Harlem.

             and the rest of the country with such force that the 1920s became known as.

             the Jazz Age" (Chambers 9).
