Once ragtime was fused with slave music and blues forms, jazz started to sprout up. First came the big bands (Duke Ellington, Count Basie). These were for dancing to. Then came be-bop. This was "musician's music" (Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk)

they constantly changed. you'll notice if you listen to their albums in order from when they came out that the songs sound less 50's rock and more calm and detailed. but when they started going for the peace and -in Georges' case- Indian style, was about 1966.
Originally Ragtime was popular in St. Louis and New Orleans when it originated during the early part of the 20th century (1900's). Later it was revived, first in the 40's, then again in the 50's, and finally in the 70's when lots of new recordings of old Ragtime standards came out. For example, the movie The Sting featured Scott Joplin's The Entertainer which went on to become #3 on the Billboard top 100. This in turn led to a Ragtime revival (yet again) but by then it was widespread.
