In 1917, under the leadership of Nick LaRocca, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band (ODJB) made the first jazz recording. This first and many to follow were instant sensational Hits that were inspirational and influential beyond imagination. The success of the ODJB recordings was immense and musicians worldwide changed instrumentation to emulate the sound and style they made famous. From 1917 to 1936 they recorded fifty-two 78s that are still sold today on various CD compilations.

On February 8, 2006 the Original Dixieland Jazz Band was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for their 1917 recording of the Darktown Strutters Ball.

The ODJB is back in full swing under the direction of the original leaders son, Jimmy LaRocca, on trumpet and vocals, with a fine ensemble of New Orleans musicians. They have performed concerts and jazz festivals worldwide and have two nationally selling CDs on the Louisiana Red Hot Records label. Jimmy and the ODJB are dedicated to jazz education through clinics, lectures and workshops. The ODJB shines the brightest on a concert stage and it is refreshing to see so many people tap feet, clap hands, smile and comment on how good they feel when they listen to this music from New Orleans.

Think of visiting a famous New Orleans restaurant and wanting to taste everything on the menu this is what you get in an ODJB performance with selections such as Dixie Jass Band One-Step, Livery Stable Blues, Fidgety Feet, Clarinet Marmalade, Tiger Rag, St. Louis Blues, St. James Infirmary, Bourbon Street Parade, When Its Sleepy Time Down South, Basin Street Blues, When the Saints Go Marching In and many other great New Orleans classics.

"Margie" is paired with "Singin' the Blues" on this single as a medley. Benny Goodman, Fats Domino, Duke Ellington, Eddie Cantor, and Bix Beiderbecke have recorded this classic. In 2006, the ODJB recording of "Darktown Strutters' Ball" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, one of the earliest jazz recordings so honored. The ODJB composition "Singin' the Blues" has also been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in a recording by Frankie Trumbauer, Bix Beiderbecke, and Eddie Lang.

I remember going over to my next door neighbors house back in the 1950's and learning to sing this song. He was born in 1903 and was a bass player in local dance bands around Southern California dance halls back in the late 1940's and 50's. He probably played during the 20's and 30's too, but that was way before my time.
