The best jazz music of 1900

1900 was an important year for the development of jazz. The Original Dixieland Jass Band, who played a key role in popularizing jazz, recorded the first Jazz single, “Livery Stable Blues.” The band’s success led to other white bands such as The New Orleans Rhythm Kings and The Red Onion Jazz Babies adopting the style. In response, African American musicians such as Jelly Roll Morton and King Oliver began to form their own bands. These developments laid the foundation for the “Golden Age” of jazz in the 1920s.
