11) Jazz Blues Prohibition Speakeasies And Gangsters

With the Great migration and the closure of Storyville, the centre of  jazz moved to Chicago. With the prohibition, the market demanded alcohol, and gangsters like Capone were only too happy to oblige. 

As the roaring twenties rolled on, in an very American market oriented fashion, speakeasies became the major distribution points of illegal alcohol. The mobsters needing entertainment for their clubs became patrons of Jazz.


Another chapter is written in Chicagos history, and gangs and gangsters are now forever associated with Chicago. The light and dark side of the American dream again connect in Chicago.
