Public dance halls, clubs, and tea rooms opened in the cities.

Popular Tin Pan Alley composers like Irving Berlin incorporated ragtime influence into their compositions, though they rarely used the specific musical devices that were second nature to jazz players—the rhythms, the blue notes.

Few things did more to popularize the idea of hot music than Berlin’s hit song of 1911,”Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” which became a craze as far from home as Vienna.
