[Dixielandjazz] Military bands and OKOM

[David Richoux]

Luis,

  Two main points of direct influence on jazz I can think of right away 
would be the availability of cheap Army surplus band instruments in the 
late 1800s and early 1900s  (this is not exactly proven history but I 
do see references ) and James Reese Europe's WW1 military band.

I found a few interesting websites for further research:

If I had time to write an essay I would do it but I don't think that 
would be very soon!
