Different scholars have approved that that Jazz music came from African-American communities in the southern parts of the U.S. It is believed that this was the first American music style that remains to be responsible for international music, and that its development arose from the post-Civil War and the Emancipation era.

Notably, this was a period that saw the flow of the freed slaves, which enabled them, spread their rhythm and tonality African culture, a phenomenon that was facilitated by the availability of the bands of Civil War Armies musical instruments.There are distinct factors that may be attributed to the growth of jazz music including: spirituals and field hollers of the slave workers, beats of ragtime syncopation, and demos of brass bands along with deep down snarl of the American blues.
