[Dixielandjazz] Buddy Bolden Lives:

[Jazzadvocate (Ron Gable)]

Dear listmates;
     
      Since this is "Celebrate Black History Month," I thought I would paraphrase a bit and change it to "Celebrate Black Jazz History Month."  If you're a true jazz buff, sooner or later, you'll wonder where "all that jazz" came from.  Some call it Dixieland, some call it New Orleans Jazz and many prefer to call it Traditional Jazz.  I usually just call it fun.  It was born in New Orleans and was the very first form of jazz.  It is America's classic music, it has an intriguing history, and today it is played and studied in almost every country in the world.  Buddy Bolden is generally considered to be the first bandleader to play the improvised music, which later became known as Jazz. -- Read the full story and see the picture at www.jazzadvocate.com
