Thanks Steve!
"Dixieland--A source of total confusion since Dixieland, as a geographical term, means the Southern States with banjos strumming and all that jazz, but as a generic term (because of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band) is generally applied to white groups playing in a frivolous style and wearing bowler hats."

Peter Gammond, and Peter Clayton. Bluff Your Way In Jazz. 

Cheers. Fred
