@vegunited06 This is dixieland jazz...The jazz you're talking about has been around for a longer time than the 50s...

[federikeny]

LA PRIMER BANDA DE JAZZ EN GRABAR UN DISCO Y QUE RAZON TUBIERON EN HACER DEL JAZZ ALGO IMPERECEDERO

[goldie0800]

I like the easygoing pace, not in a hurry and sounds better that way.

[vegunited06]

this isn't jazz, well if it is then it's shit. proper jazz starts mid 50s, then the 60s before fusion came in. bebop and cool jazz. this 1920s and 30's stuff is just dinky donky circus music

[facecheek]

@vegunited06 jazz WAS dinky donky circus music back then, dupe.

[msklar95]

@vegunited06 You don't know what you're talking about. If you told Satchmo and Jelly roll morton that their stuff is "dinky circus music" I think they wouldn't stop laughing at you. This spontaneous dixieland/ creole jazz has the roots of bepop in it; have some respect for the history of music man, stop being so closed minded.

[DrumsJam]

wow jazz has come along way!



[jmatthewgallant]

this sucks



[voodoochildblu]

my late grandparents were in love with dixieland music and played it 24/7 and I have come to love it, don't care what anyone has to say about it it's good music

[RoninAvenger]

Two people are fans of Modern elevator "jazz"

[valkour22]

were they the 1st?

[busessuck1]

@valkour22 Yes they were the first to record jazz music on account of Freddie Keppard passing up the opportunity because he feared other musicians would steal his style

Nick Larocca who plays the cornet claimed to have invented jazz music and said black people had nothing to do with it :-/

...most sources on the net say Buddy Bolden and his orchestra were the first jazz musicians... give a listen to Bunk Johnson

[valkour22]

@busessuck1 what about Buddy Bolden? Seems Jelly Roll Morton always had to make a point that Buddy didnt play Jazz. Another question where does Fats Waller in the so called hierarchy of jazz ive heard he was really the 1st also. I know he started ragtime but style ended up jazz,just wondering where he fits in. Thanks for info!!!

[busessuck1]

@valkour22 Jelly Roll was the first to write down jazz music on paper, he also liked to say he invented it, so he had to discredit other people to make his claims fit facts, even so he deserves credit for his influence on any jazz pianist that's worth mentioning

Fats was among the first to develop the "stride" style of piano playing, along with James P Johnson and Luckey Roberts, people like him and Fletcher Henderson were pioneers of Harlem Jazz... but he wasn't known for playing Ragtime

[valkour22]

@busessuck1 check out HOW MUSIC WORKS pt2 RHYTHM pt3 We had to watch it in Jazz class and this guy kinda says Fatts was 1st. I dont know but it sure is interesting its really starts speaking about Fatts in his style at 2:38 . Need ur info on this ,Thxx

[busessuck1]

@valkour22 Well not really, Fats started playing on the organ and made a few rags and blues music rolls before moving on to jazz by the 20s same as lots of pianists, I guess you mistook the connotation of what the guy said on the video - which was excellent btw so thanks. Ragtime has been around since the 1800s

So there... now you've got a decent understanding of the beginnings of jazz you can impress all the girls hehhe.

[valkour22]

@busessuck1 Thxxxx

[valkour22]

@busessuck1 the whole video really speaks of it have a listen ,

[MustaffaCuppa]

LOVE this music! Thanks so much. Trad Jazz is the best kind of jazz & surely anyone with a pulse just can't help tapping their heel to this!

[xKaishisxMoonx]

Jazz was so amazing in the early 1900's. <3

[Squarerig]

This music is a balm for my weary soul-how's that for melodrama?Delightful music played by a great band.,Thank you.

[l0b1z0n]

oh my god!

thank you for this beautiful music

[parsonsmaniatik]

ah que genial musica, me encanta! y es un transporte a otro mundo escuchar esto para mi simplemenete la real musica!! los sentidos, todo!me complace ver estos videos

[ursulaheppworth]

Marvellous..off to bed for me I think,rather a tiring day..feel good listening to this,,toes a tappin'..;)

[TheDrkKnght1988]

BEAUTIFUL!!! Dixieland jazz rules my world!!

[cartoonfan1920s]

I really dig this. I hope to find this band on vinyl someday or shellac. I collect vinyl records currently since I do not own a 78 player. I would love to someday.

[genatzvalee]

LOVE the composition and the band!!! I think they'd be happy to know that even in almost 100 years their stuff is still enjoyed and is available on the Internet (parallel world!).

[Guerillaradio13]

love it!

[korriban129]

Great jazz!

[genatzvalee]

Love their version of Jazz Me Blues!

[daniel1982]

Oi dude. I have never dissed thet music´. You should actually try and READ what I'm saying.

[daniel1982]

You're all so simple minded. There is music today that is neigther, pop, rap, rock, metal, jazz or blues.

This music; Do you think that was what people heard in general when it was recorded? Get the fuck out of here.

This was the brain dance or acid techno of it's day; Not rap, rock, trance, dance or suck.

Study what's actually todays underground; Where we're going. Not what we are or were. Easy t accept MTV as reality; Might be the reality now, but not where we are tommorow.

[alexanderetter]

so why are you coming to this page? we love this music, so we study it:-)

[sealskin2001]

I admire what this band did musically and in the recording "studio". LaRocca's race attitudes are regrettable, but did anyone take his claim to have invented jazz seriously? Neither did they the same claim by Jelly Roll Morton. It's the way things were. Everyone had to have a shtick.

[observerreacts]

They changed Jass to Jazz because vandals kept crossing out the J , damn hoodlems

[nemesis700]

this is good music

[luvsmusic33]

im related to nick larocca :D

[hrpman]

Sorry, folks, call me simple, but for me, music doesn't have a color. I just love this kind of music and don't give a hoot what planet they're from ...

[alexanderetter]

about comparing louis and odjb: in my eyes both bands - king oliver+armstrong and the odjb - were really great bands. fact is that 1917 when odjb started recording, louis wasn't even 20years old. but they all came from new orleans and had that something from this city. logically there is a difference in style. but for me - i have stopped to make difference between black and white but between good and bad played music. odjb and oliver/armstrong were both good and important orchestras!!!

[alexanderetter]

about the odjb: this band is at the time around 1915-20 the hottest thing on disc or cylinder that was called ragtime or jazz. there isn't much swing if we compare to todays jazz but if you compare with other recordings of popular music (not important if it's already called jass/jazz or not) at that time, you will without doubt notice that they were pretty progressive rhythmically.

[alexanderetter]

the discussion here is very stupid. it seems as music is an object you can steal... but it isn't like that. it is e permanent interaction. and jazz is a product of musical interaction in new orleans. you have a lot of different elements in it.

[brewereric]

just listen to the dam music and stop trying to be fez wearing know it all's who cares who and when. I like hamburgers on the grill...does that mean i need to know who discovered it, what religion they were or even who was the first person to eat meat/?? shut the fuck up....im not a racists but being biracial i do know that white people like to lay claim to everything popular. my mom told me about little richard vs pat boone....lol

[SavagexRomance]

Soothing to my ears.

[inhymnilive]

Oh sweet!

[SavagexRomance]

Ahhhh,

<3

[Star0Crossed]

fantastic.

[enfermedadterminal]

Algunos de sus comentarios son tan aburridos que a nadie le importan. Some of your coments are so bored that nobody cares

[Vinnypoo]

they were racists, and not the original jazz, they simply appropriate jazz music for the white middle class composers

[LesSwattum]

vinny, you sound like a person who sees racism every where when you are disagreed with

[Vinnypoo]

no one disagreed with me, I stated facts I got from the scholarly book "circular breathing, the cultural politics of jazz in britain". But yes I am against racism, if thats what you mean

[up2space]

your scholarly book didn't create jazz but the ODJB did. sorry, dude.

[Vinnypoo]

oh your funny, too bad that doesn't matter

[up2space]

appropriate jazz music? The ODJB basically taught jazz to Chicago, including the black population. Louis Armstrong said he learned jazz from listening to the ODJB.

[Vinnypoo]

yeah but Armstrong was a revivalist right, he came after them so it makes sense that he would have.

[HepCat215]

I don't think he ever said that. He learned from King Oliver, who was playing jazz (along with Satchmo) years before the ODJB. I

[dancingwithfrogs]

"Only four years before I learned to play the trumpet in the Waif´s Home, or in 1909, the first great jazz orchestra was formed in New Orleans by a cornet player named Dominick James LaRocca. They called him "Nick" LaRocca. His orchestra had only five pieces, but they were the hottest five pieces that had ever been known before."

Louis Armstrong´s biography "Swing That Music" 1936, page 10

[brewereric]

but this does not mean louis thought nick larocca created jazz...lol it means louis was inspired and or just liked the music....nick says he created the music fourm of course he came first...he was older dude.....wtf! they call robert johnson the father of the blues...lol he was not even born when it was being formed nick hated black people just like leon redbone...i know his daughter its as painfully true as george bush jr hqaving a low IQ

[TuberOnTheLoose]

@brewereric Yeah, you have to have a low IQ to get a degree from Harvard like G.W. Bush (NOT jr, btw). Just look at our current president. It seems to be a requirement.

[brewereric]

Perhaps but dont forget those guys got in due to contrabutions. Yup, look it up. Barbra Bush was a direct decendant of Millard Filmore....hence privlage and access. George jr...same case. I dotn think a low I Q is a requirement more than it is in your mind. An IQ has nothing to do with learning ability nor is having a IQ test a requirement for acceptance to any learning inst. Never has been. College is a business just like Wal Mart is a business

[HepCat215]

Well, Nick LaRocca probably was.

[EGONZ356]

vinny is right, nick larocca even said that the negros were incapable of writing "white ppl music", maybe he was racist or an oppurtunist, but nick larocca calls himself the creator of jazz, when really all he did was for lack of a better word he stoled it

[brewereric]

yup...he once called kid orey a koon lover cause he chose to continue to play with king oliver instead of joining his little redneck group....not to mention he was the brown itialian...and north itialians didnt like them cause of their being products of rape and pilliaging of hanibal.

even BIX said nick was a little nutty....whatever..it shouldnt mmatter..im just trying to teach my daughter theres more to music than the jonas brothers......lol but if they inspire her..its cool

[theDarksunsShine]

Hey man, at least she's not listenin' to 50 cent, Britney Spears or Souljia Boy and whatever other non-artistic -value sellin' "artists" out there

[SonnyGmanproductions]

wait, u dont think rock or rap is bad music? so u dont lkike eminem or snoop dogg or green day or bands like that?

[blivemernot]

the band was not racist since there was an african american singer in 1921, the tune was jazz me blues and her name was Lavinia Turner.

[brewereric]

like you really think they didnt share his views cause they had aq black singer.....vegas said they werent racists either when they hired ella fitzgerald to play the tropicanna...thing is ,..she couldnt eat or sleep in their hotels, till frank sinatra spoke up and dean martin backed him up.......just cause someone hires a marketable face to cover up thier b.s does not mean they arent guilty....your defending him like you are a racist.....lol

[ckinger13]

ah..this song came out when i was 5...the same year my family brought a radio...this classic was played quite frequently

[ke1kun]

how old are you?

[KathrynMVR]

Credit should be given to the writer of the song...a black man by the name of Tom Delaney. This song was recorded by a number of groups including being one of the first of Duke Ellington.

[marvalhat]

Thanks for the video and the info. I wondered when they changed "jass" to "jazz".

Now I see how Bix Beiderbecke was influenced by this great band( and many other young musicians of the era)Wynton Marsellias should take a look/listen. Not all great jazz musicians were black.

[GS336]

Nick LaRocca changed the spelling because kids would scratch the letter "J" of the word Jass.

[kspm01]

Formed in 1916, the Original Dixieland Jass Band changed the spelling in to Jazz towards the end of 1917.

[anhua33]

Great for dancing!

[aerofredywr]

Yeees! If you like dancing listen to Bix´s version.
