SFJAZZ presents another Jazz Minute – a brief look at important figures, movements, and moments in jazz history and the present day, in both the San Francisco Bay Area and around the world.

For the second Jazz Minute episode focusing on the history of jazz fashion, we discuss the transitional period from the Swing Era of the 1930s to bebop in the late 1940s. This era marked a shift to what many would consider the quintessential look of jazz musicians in popular culture.
