Chicago jazz is a distinctive jazz style that emerged from Southern musicians who moved to Chicago and the rest of the Midwest after World War I, bringing with them the "Dixieland" of New Orleans. Chicago became, alongside New Orleans, one of the cradles of jazz in the early twentieth century. In the early 1920s, many Black musicians from New Orleans came to Chicago (including King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong).
