Dixieland Dixieland Dixieland, sometimes referred to as hot jazz or traditional jazz, is a style of jazz based on the music that developed in New Orleans at the start of the 20th century. One of the first uses of the term "Dixieland" with reference to music was in the name of the Original Dixieland Jass Band (which shortly thereafter changed the spelling of its name to "Original Dixieland Jazz Band"). Their 1917 recordings fostered popular awareness of this new style of music. At that time, there was no issue of subgenres of jazz, so "Dixieland" referred to the band and not
Jazz band Jass Band. It is reported that the first known recording of "Jas", "That Funny Jas Band from Dixieland (1916)" was by Collins and Harlan for Thomas A. Edison, Inc. on Blue Amberol in December 1916. The first Jazz record, "The Original Dixieland One-Step" was issue 18255 by Victor Talking Machine Company in 1917. This is the first record with "Jass" on the label, attributed to the "Original Dixieland 'Jass' Band". After litigation and claims of copyright infringement, the title was changed to "Dixie 'Jass' Band One-Step". Vince Guaraldi and Ramsey Lewis were notable leaders of jazz trios in the 1960s,
