Charleston Jazz was born at the dawn of acceptance of jazz music as the classical music of the United States of America. Charleston, South Carolina has contributed mightily to the history of the country, especially with regard to African American culture, the crucible of jazz. The South Atlantic coast cradle of North American slavery is a big part of the genesis, evolution and legacy of jazz, an entertainment art form that married the best of European and African attributes in the New World.

Now about 100 years old, jazz is no longer the secular, profane novelty it was once considered to be. Instead, it is a spiritual, organic life force that embodies all that is good about the American experiment. It is taken seriously in sociological, artistic and educational circles at the same time that it carries enormous, socially redeeming entertainment value.
