	THE ODJB Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The first actual band to appear on record was the Original Dixiland Jazz Band or ODJB, sometimes referred to as the Original Dixiland "Jass" Band because of the socially questionable meaning of the word "jazz" during this period.
		In that sense the ODJB, made up of white musicians who had worked together in New Orleans, was probably more typical of the true New Orleans collective improvisational style, both fl and white, than the bands which recorded subsequently.
		As late as 1943, the ODJB rerecorded their 1918 performances of "Tiger Rag" and "Sensation Rag" on a v-disk intended for distribution to American soldiers stationed in Europe and Asia in WWII.

		The earliest copies of the first ODJB disc do not cite the title of Jordan's rag; later copies say "Introducing 'That Teasin' Rag" (curiously, the title on side A of the disc was changed to "Dixie Jass Band One-Step," the suffice "-land" omitted).

		When a band made a test, one take was usually enough; certainly not seven to cover two titles, and by an untried unknown quantity such as the Original Dixieland Jazz Band.
		In the light of this discovery, it is evident that with their usual go-getter methods, Victor secured the services of the band for a test session on February 26, 1917, that it passed this test and the results issued with incredible speed under date of March 7.
		The contract was for six months; it was not renewed, and the band recorded exclusively for Victor in the USA from the spring of 1918 until the end of 1921.

		An ODJB member, probably Edwards, had scribbled a note on the letter: "Forbish [sic]-- Wednesday afternoon, 2:00 P.M." It is likely that the band met Donovan or Columbia recording engineer Walter A.

		One of the key influences on jazz was blues, a rural folk art that changed as fl musicians migrated to the cities in the late 19th century.
		In addition, many early jazz musicians made a living playing in small marching bands, and the instruments of these groups became the basic instruments of jazz: brass, reeds, and drums.
		There was a general liberalization of customs before World War I. Public dance halls, clubs, and tea rooms opened in the cities, and fl dances like the cakewalk and the shimmy were eventually adopted by a white public, especially the flappers.

	Original Dixieland Jass Band
		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 was an immediate success, with their wacky stage antics, like wearing top hats that spelled out "Dixie", playing the trombone's slide with the foot, and so on.
		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".

		The song might have been a popular ditty or blues that they didn't compose, but by the time they were finished with it they had composed a new piece that often bore little resemblance to the original song.
		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.
		The second wave of New Orleans Jazz musicians like Joe "King" Oliver, Kid Ory, and Jelly Roll Morton fromed small bands, that took the music of these older men and increased the complexity and dynamic of their music, as well as gaining greater commercial success.

	Big Band Era Jazz History

		While the aforementioned musicians were playing big band jazz; the popularity of the hotel dance bands of the 1920s was also an important factor in the evolution of the Big Band Era.
