I love jazz music especially the jazz music that was born during the roaring twenties and during The Great Depression. During then is when some of the greatest jazz recordings ever were released. That was the birth of the Jazz Age and the jazz music that was released during the Jazz Age is the jazz music that I have come to love and continue to play over and over again. I figured putting together this extra special playlist of the 100 Best Vintage and Speakeasy Jazz Tracks ever list. This list is quite amazing. Mostly instrumental cuts and once you start playing these songs visions of the roaring twenties pop in your head. It’s quite a nice vision.
One of the reasons I decided to put this 100 Best Vintage And Speakeasy Jazz Songs Ever list is because of great compilations like the White Mink And Black Cotton series of releases that focuses on Speakeasy Jazz and Electro-Swing movements. Those releases are quite amazing and worth noting so the roots of most of the music from Electro Swing are the jazz music from the Jazz Age and the Speakeasy jazz that was huge during that era.
