	Dixieland
		Dixieland music is a style of jazz that was born in New Orleans at the start of the 20th century, and spread to Chicago and New York by New Orleans bands in the 1910s.
		Most fans of post bebop jazz consider "Dixieland" to no longer be a vital part of jazz, while some adherents consider music in the traditional style, when well and creatively played, is every bit as "modern" as any other jazz style.
		It also was widely used in the 1930s and 1940s as a synonym for white jazz, with the explicit connotation that Dixieland was an improved white form of inferior fl music.

	Dixieland Summary
		Dixieland developed in New Orleans, Louisiana at the start of the 20th century, and spread to Chicago, Illinois and New York City, New York by New Orleans bands in the 1910s, and was, for a period, quite popular among the general public.
		The definitive Dixieland sound is created when a one instrument (usually the trumpet) plays the melody or a recognizable paraphase or variation on it, and the other instruments of the "front line" improvise around that melody.
		There was a revival of Dixieland in the late 1940s and 1950s, which brought many semi-retired musicians a measure of fame late in their lives as well as bringing retired musicians back onto the jazz circuit after years of not playing (i.e Kid Ory).

	Dixieland St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture - Find Articles
		Dixieland jazz is a style that blends New Orleans jazz and classic jazz--also called "Chicago jazz"--of the 1920s.

		The success of the dixieland style in the mid-1940s ignited the release of a flurry of hasty and uninspired imitations of the music.

		Dixieland, a style that overlaps with New Orleans jazz and classic jazz, has also been called "Chicago jazz" because it developed, to an extent, in Chicago in the 1920s.
		However, it was rather late to be organizing a new orchestra (the competition was fierce) and, although there were some good musical moments, none of the sidemen became famous, the arrangements lacked their own musical personality, and by the time it broke up Teagarden was facing bankruptcy.
		Many of the top classic jazz musicians who came to maturity in the 1920s were still only in their forties at the most, and, if anything, had grown as players through the years even while the continual evolution of jazz was in danger of passing them by.

	Jazz music, Dixieland
		Dixieland is an umbrella to indicate musical styles of the earliest New Orleans and Chicago jazz musicians, recorded from 1917 to 1923, as well as its developments and revivals, beginning during the late 1930s.
		As rural music moved to the city and adopted new instruments, the polyphony typical of the African- American singing tradition found an expression in the style now identified as Early New Orleans Dixieland.
		This equal or flat metric feel was later replaced by Chicago groups with a measure that emphasized the second and fourth beats and was referred to as 2/4 time (accents on 2 and 4).

	The Red Hot Jazz Archive
		The music called Jazz was born sometime around 1895 in New Orleans.
		Jazz represented a break from Western musical traditions, where the composer wrote a piece of music on paper and the musicians then tried their best to play exactly what was in the score.
		Many of these virtuoso musicians were not good sight readers and some could not read music at all, never the less their playing thrilled audiences and the spontaneous music they created captured a joy and sense of adventure that was an exciting and radical departure from the music of that time.

	Jazz \| All About Jazz
		Despite providing the building blocks for all jazz to come, today Dixieland appeals only to a very narrow field of music listeners and, taken from a New Orleans context, is not something with which most people chose to occupy their time.
		Fountain obviously has a passion for the music, which is rendered as authentically as possible; he solos enthusiastically and confidently, never straying far from the style as if he's constantly afraid of offending one of his idols with a lackluster performance.
		Fitting the best of Dixieland on one disk is like trying to write the history of Western Civilization on the back of a cash register receipt, but Fountain has come up with an angle to make it manageable by spotlighting his main influences throughout the years.

	An Overview of Dixieland Jazz
		If we define 'Jazz' as the free improvisation on a melody, then "Dixieland Jazz" is that type of improvisation which we today associate with bands originally playing in America's 'Southland'.
		That is to say, it is ensemble playing, with each instrumentalist getting adequate 'space' to display' his musical ideas on music written by composers of virtually every nation in the world.
		Suffice it to say, that modern jazz historians now feel that there was a parallel development of the music by the two groups: The White and the Black Brass Bands and musicians were each listening to each other.

		The Original Dixieland Jazz Band had recorded for Columbia in January 1917, but the session was unsuccessful and the band had to come back and re-record the songs, thus the release of the Columbia sides did not come about until after the amazing success of the Victor records.
		The band's slogan was "Untuneful Harmonists Playing Peppery Melodies", and their leader Nick La Rocca and cornet player delighted in stirring up the press, describing themselves as musical anarchists and coining fun statements like "Jazz is the assassination of the melody, it's the slaying of syncopation".
