The History of Jazz

I found the website Jazzstandards.com the most interesting of all the links I came across. The site gave a very detailed description of the era in which jazz music came to life. The site has a separate link for each decade and also lists books and songs from the decade including their year and ranking. I felt like I was able to get a good idea of how things in the jazz world came to be and how the music has evolved over time based off of the samples available in each link. I also liked how artists and composers were recognized for their contributions to the genre in the history of the site.
