| The First Jazz Records (2894 words) |
| It was an immediate success and this record is considered the spark that ignited the Jazz fad that seized the world in the years during and after World War I. The Original Dixieland Jass Band was a group of White musicians from New Orleans. |
| Apparently the record was to be released under the name of Borbee's Tango Orchestra but the band's name was changed from "Tango" to "Jass" to take advantage of the success of the Original Dixieland Jass Band and the Jazz craze that they had spawned in New York. |
| Their first record Johnson's "Jass" Blues and Canary Cottage were fairly "jazzy" in style as are the records that they recorded in July and August of 1917. |
