Description
ORIGINAL DIXIELAND "JASS" BAND ON VICTOR 18255
- Titles are "Dixie Jass Band' b/w "Livery Stable Blues" .................................................................Between 1916 and 1918 the word jass used within the band name of the Original Dixieland Jass Band was changed to Jazz. The word "Jazz" stuck and has been used ever since that first jass/jazz recording to describe an ever changing and evolving musical style. The success of the Original Dixieland Jass Band in 1917 with the first jass recording was immense. The Victor Talking Machine Co. had placed advertising posters in the New York subway cars (the same long thin rectangular posters you see on busses today) and the first letter in the word jass was defaced. This wouldn’t do with society and the Victor Talking Machine Company (for certain with permission from the ODJB) changed the name to Jazz. Prior to the ODJB's "hit" recording the music of the time was known as Ragtime and many other style names but not jazz. It is interesting and amusing to note that today some earlier musicians are referred to as jazz musicians even though the name or style didn't exist. Dating back to 1914 there were only three or four other groups that used the name jass within their band name. The term was used more in general language slang (supposedly) and was certainly not used to describe a musical style until the ODJB secured it with their hit recording in 1917. The use of a slang term “jass,” a hit recording and changing the name from jass to jazz by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band forever secured the word jazz a musical definition term.
