Step-by-step explanation:

Anything that takes manliness or effort or energy or activity or strength of soul is 'jazz. '” The connection of the futurist word with music seems to have been made at Boyes Springs in 1913. Bands had been playing jazz for years, but it usually went by other names: ragtime, the blues, or Dixieland.
