The social connotation of jazz in American popular culture has
shifted dramatically since its emergence in the early twentieth
century. Once considered youthful and even rebellious, jazz music
is now a firmly established American artistic tradition. As jazz in
American life has shifted, so too has the kind of venue in which it
is performed. In Jazz Places, Kimberly Hannon Teal traces the
history of jazz performance from private jazz clubs to public,
high-art venues often associated with charitable institutions. As
live jazz performance has become more closely tied to nonprofit
institutions, the music's heritage has become increasingly
important, serving as a means of defining jazz as a social good
worthy of charitable support. Though different jazz spaces present
jazz and its heritage in various and sometimes conflicting terms,
ties between the music and the past play an important role in
defining the value of present-day music in a diverse range of jazz
venues, from the Village Vanguard in New York to SFJazz on the West
Coast to Preservation Hall in New Orleans.
