I've heard a lot of guys play bebop, but they wasn't swinging." - Jay McShann

Taking liberties with tone qualities. 3. African Americans creating new kinds of music such as ragtime and the blues.

A cultural melting pot, the “Big Easy” had a reputation for its free-spirited ambiance with “everything in the line of hilarity,” as jazz pioneer Jelly Roll Morton so aptly put it.

It was in this year that the first records labeled as Jazz began making their way into stores in the United States. The general record buying public was probably unaware that this style of music was not that new in 1917. The music that would become known as Jazz had been played in New Orleans and other other parts of the South for many years by bands lead by musicians such as Buddy Bolden, Frankie Dusen, Jack Laine and others. ~Scott Alexander
