- "The music called Jazz was born sometime around 1895 in New Orleans. It combined elements of Ragtime, marching band music and Blues. What differentiated Jazz from these earlier styles was the widespread use of improvisation, often by more than one player at a time. Jazz represented a break from Western musical traditions, where the composer wrote a piece of music on paper and the musicians then tried their best to play exactly what was in the score. In a Jazz piece, the song is often just a starting point or frame of reference for the musicians to improvise around. The song might have been a popular ditty or blues that they didn't compose, but by the time they were finished with it they had composed a new piece that often bore little resemblance to the orignal song." Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong (1901-1971) "Louis Armstrong was the greatest of all Jazz muscians. Armstrong defined what it was to play Jazz. His amazing technical abilities, the joy and spontaniety, and amazingly quick, inventive musical mind still dominate Jazz to this day."

Jelly Roll Morton, "jazzman." "Jelly Roll Morton had a hit with his 1923 version of Wolverine Blues . This stirred interest with the the Victor company who were just starting to get into the "race records" market and were looking for talent. Jelly Roll assembled a group of musicians who could play in the New Orleans style and called them the Red Hot Peppers. Many of the musicians came from Lil Hardin-Armstrong's recently disbanded Dreamland Syncopators. The tracks recorded in Chicago in 1926 and 1927 are considered some of the finest recordings in the "Hot Style". Morton moved to New York and assembled another version of the band and went on to record with Victor until 1930." "The Red Hot Archive is a place to study and enjoy the music of these early Jazzmen." The archive contain a collection of old jazz tunes that all should enjoy. Here's one, Wild Man Blues , by the Red Hot Peppers, featuring Jelly Roll Morton and Louis Armstrong, recorded on the Bluebird label in Chicago, Illinois, on July 4, 1927."

- I love Jazz from this period... In a Jazz piece, the song is often just a starting point or frame of reference for the musicians to improvise around. And do they improvise. Listen to some mid 30's Fats Waller or Duke Ellington and you might go dancing around the livingroom like I do... lol Jazz so hot you think the musicans instruments are going to catch on fire while they're playing, that's some red hot Jazz.
