Jazz Age

[close] "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past" The 1920's was an incredible era in the world's history. It was the birth of modern culture, celebrity, the birth of hot jazz and dance bands that would be synonymous with the era. Films, fashion and literature developed at a phenomenal rate. It was the era of prohibition and wild excess, all brought to an end with the Stock Market Crash of 1929. This group celebrates that era, and the many influences it left behind.
