Jazz is seen as a compromise for change and represents a huge american achievement. Jazz also was a pat of american historic culture that created a blend between the north and south through music. Examples of this blended american culture are evident when looking at main jazz cities such as Kansas city and New Orleans in the southern part of the U.S. as well as Chicago and New York city in the northern part of the U.S.
