Not My Victrola: Livery Stable Blues



peppopb uploaded this great jazz song for our gratification, and it is interesting to note that this is the first jazz recording made by Victor, way back in 1917.  Be careful; this one sticks in your head!

Notes from peppopb's post: Original Dixieland Jass Band (ODJB) was founded in New Orleans in 1916. Their first jazz recording is dated 1917. In late 1917 it changed the name's spelling to "Jazz."

L'ODJB first members were: Larry Shields (clarinet), Eddie Edwards (trombone), Henry Ragas (piano), Tony Sbarbaro (drums) e Nick LaRocca (cornet).
