Question

What was the cause that forced jazz musicians to New York, Chicago, LA, Memphis and other big cities?
 Option A
The hurricane in the early 1900's that destroyed most of NOLA
 Option B
Storyville was closed down by religious leaders

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Option B.

The shutdown of Storyville (closed in 1917 as part of wartime/moral reform efforts—pressure from the Navy and reformers) removed the district's steady work for musicians, so many moved to Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Memphis and other cities where there were jobs, vaudeville shows and recording opportunities. A hurricane was not the primary cause.
