[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Jazz History

[Steve Barbone]

For the Historians on the List. Interesting reading.

Very long, but very interesting article on the early culture of New Orleans,
Uptown Jazz and Downtown Jazz and lots on Bechet, including why he and other
Creoles (Jelly Roll Morton, Freddie Keppard et al., did not consider
themselves black. See:
