To us, musically, this period represents a lot of really great Jazz music, traditional jazz and swing-jazz. Also, piano jazz and blues, including the great works of George Gershwin. The prohibition era, the Charleston and Rag / Ragtime is also something we'd put into this category, as would "Stride" jazz and piano music for Silent Movies.

Feelings of elegance with a whiff of perfume in a night filled with romance. This jazz track features piano and warm cello melodies with bass and drums. (Stem files available.) [Tempo: Very slow, Slow / 60 BPM]

This piece of music tells the story of a soldier - specifically the emotions felt from missing their family, being proud to serve and looking ahead to their future. It is a solo piano piece with a subtle patriotic flare underneath. This would sound appropriate with any soldier's story as well as many other dramatic scenes. The music has a positive sound of nostalgia as well. [Tempo: Slow / 0 BPM]
