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.
