[Dixielandjazz] Saint Louis Blues ?

[Dixiejazzdata]

 Not necessarily so Bob,  that may have been when it got popularized by commercial record labels, but it had certainly existed long before that time,  Hell some folks have even pointed out that RAP was actually created by guys in the 20,s and 40's   as in talking records.

 And since most of us were not actually there in the 20's we too are speculating upon reviews and historians who may or may not have been 100% accurate either.

Cheers,

Bart,

I don’t think so. What you hear is some syncopation as Jazz and Ragtime was 
being developed. Some from Africa, some from the South American influence, etc. 
But no R&R influence. That beat came separately in the early 50s.
