- Jazz. Il suono innovativo della musica jazz irrompe sulla scena degli Stati Uniti alla fine del XIX secolo, soprattutto in città come New Orleans. È una musica accattivante ed eclettica, ma con una propria identità.
- Blues. Strettamente legato al jazz (alcuni lo considerano il suo predecessore), il blues affonda le sue radici nella musica africana portata negli Stati Uniti dagli schiavi.
