The Original Dixieland Jass Band were a New Orleans, Dixieland jazz band
that made the first jazz recordings in early 1917. Their "Livery Stable
Blues" became the first jazz single ever issued. The group composed and
made the first recordings of many jazz standards, the most famous being
"Tiger Rag". In late 1917 the spelling of the band's name was changed to
Original Dixieland Jazz Band.

The band consisted of five musicians who previously had played in the
Papa Jack Laine bands, a diverse and racially integrated group of
musicians who played for parades, dances, and advertising in New Orleans.

Nick LaRocca (clarinet), Eddie Edwards (trombone), Larry Shields
(clarinet), Henry Ragas (piano), Tony Sbarbaro (drums). Composed by
Eddie Edwards, Nick LaRocca, Henry Ragas, Tony Sbarbaro & Larry Shields.

ODJB billed itself as the Creators of Jazz, because it was the first
band to record jazz commercially and to have hit recordings in the new
genre. Band leader and trumpeter Nick LaRocca (composer of "Tiger Rag")
argued that ODJB deserved recognition as the first band to record jazz
commercially and the first band to establish jazz as a musical idiom or
genre.

Friar's Society Orchestra: In 1920, Paul Mares and George Brunies were
working on the Mississippi riverboat S.S. Capitol when it stopped in
Davenport, Iowa, where they teamed with Leon Roppolo on clarinet. They
eventually added Elmer Schobel on piano, Frank Snyder on drums, Alfred
Loyacano on bass and Louis Black played banjo. They got a gig at the
Friar's Club in Chicago in 1922. At first they called themselves The
Friar's Society Orchestra, after the club the Friars Inn at 1834 Wabash
Street at Van Buren in Chicago, but they changed their name to The New
Orleans Rhythm Kings in 1923 after losing that gig.

Louis Armstrong, nicknamed Satchmo or Pops, was an American jazz
trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana. Coming to prominence
in the 1920s as an "inventive" trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was
a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from
collective improvisation to solo performance. With his
instantly-recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential
singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the
lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled
at scat singing (vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual
lyrics).

Irving Milfred Mole, better known as Miff Mole was a jazz trombonist and
band leader. He is generally considered as one of the greatest jazz
trombonists and credited with creating "the first distinctive and
influential solo jazz trombone style." His major recordings included
"Slippin' Around", "Red Hot Mama" in 1924 with Sophie Tucker on vocals,
"Miff's Blues", "There'll Come a Time (Wait and See)", on the film
soundtrack to the 2008 movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and
"Toddlin' Blues" and "Davenport Blues", recorded in 1925 with Bix
Beiderbecke and Tommy Dorsey as Bix Beiderbecke and His Rhythm Jugglers.

Johnny Bayersdorffer was a popular bandleader at the Spanish Fort resort
on Bayou St. John by Lake Pontchartrain. He is best remembered to later
generations for his 1920s recordings for Okeh Records. Bayersdorffer
also played with Happy Schilling and Tony Parenti's bands.

James Fletcher Hamilton Henderson, Jr. was an American pianist,
bandleader, arranger and composer, important in the development of big
band jazz and swing music. His was one of the most prolific black
orchestras and his influence was vast. He was often known as "Smack"
Henderson (apparently named due to his college baseball hitting skills).
Fletcher is ranked along with Duke Ellington as one of the most
influential arrangers and band leaders in jazz history, and helped
bridge the gap between the jazz and swing era.

Banjoist and guitarist Jack Bland is best remembered as the banjoist for
the Mound City Blue Blowers which he co-founded with Red McKenzie in St.
Louis. By 1924 the group had a hit record in Chicago with "Arkansas
Blues". Later that year guitarist Eddie Lang joined the group and they
toured England. By the mid-to-late 1920's Bland, like Condon, switched
from the banjo to the cello bodied four-string tenor guitar. By 1929
Eddie Lang left the Blue Blowers and they became Red McKenzie's Mound
City Blue Blowers and became a more traditional sounding hot outfit with
the addition of Gene Krupa on drums, Muggsy Spanier on cornet, and
Coleman Hawkins on tenor sax and Eddie Condon on banjo.LIKE OLD MUSIC? HOW ABOUT OLD TIME RADIO:
