In New York schuf Armstrong den Swing und erfand 1926 bei der Aufnahme des Songs "Heebie Jeebies" den Scattgesang, nachdem er in den Jahren zuvor schon die instrumentalen Solos zur Kunstform gemacht hatte.

Bolden is remembered as the first to take the blues — hitherto a folk music sung and self-accompanied on string instruments or blues harp (harmonica) — and arrange it for brass instruments. Bolden's band played blues and other tunes, constantly "variating the melody" (improvising) for both dance and brass band settings, creating a sensation in the city and quickly being imitated by many other musicians.
