The story of jazz is littered with scraps of information neglected by historians
dedicated to a narrative restricted by their adherence to definitions of jazz
that originated in the 1930’s and 1940’s. But what was the truth of what
happened as America was entering World War I. Whose story can we
believe?</SPAN></DIV>

were entertained during one lunch by a local professional 6 piece Jazz band
(playing mostly early New Orleans standards very well with just a hint of Cuban
flavor.) After the performance I asked the tuba player about the history of
early jazz in Cuba - my Spanish is not great and he only had a little English -
most of what I got from him is confirmed by parts of the above article. Also,
the series of books by Ned Sublette on the music and culture of the Caribbean
get deep into this history. </DIV>
