The text discusses radio, records, and films as new technologies that helped to promote the spread of jazz. What new technologies exist today that distribute music to new listeners? How might they expose listeners to artists and styles with which they were not previously familiar? How might this affect the development of musical styles? Note that there may be both positive and negative ways in which musicians and the music business may be affected.

Review this chapter's list of aspects of Louis Armstrong's style that characterize him as a true innovator and then listen to his recording of "West End Blues."
