The Roaring 20's has begun, and jazz music is booming. A young and inexperienced musician has landed a job on a river boat, and will soon become all the rage...

Rage is also - and rightly so - still felt over the segregation and discrimination of black people in the US, not least against the many musicians playing the popular jazz and blues. The number of civil rights organizations grow, and their work intensifies - but not without some controversy.

In other news this summer: The name Charles Ponzi will be on everyone's lips as the story about his rise to fame and fortune blows up, the biggest scandal in American sports history shocks the nation, and a bomb drops on Wall Street, quite literally.
