[Tradjazz] Hello again

[William P. Taggart]

Bill,
 
Well said by an ancient "Bill"....   :-)
 
This is my belief too... who cares what we call it, as long as we keep
the faith.
 
ATB,  Bill

	George,
	 
	Always nice to hear from you, and to hear your take on this
never-ending discussion.  I pretty much agree with what you say.
	 
	As for New Orleans Jazz being "Traditional Jazz," I guess that
it is.   If Traditional Jazz means "old-time jazz" (which I guess it
does) then yes.  On the other hand, what is "old-time Jazz?"
	 
	Sheesh.  When will I learn to keep my big mouth shut?
	 
	McN

		Hi Bruce:
		
		You are right, everyone who becomes a jazz fan, before
long becomes opinionated.  Trad Jazz?  Traditional Jazz?  To everyone on
the Board of our jazz club, the Tri-State Jazz Society, Trad Jazz means
something different; and we are all supposed to be jazz experts. 
		
		Here is my definition of "Traditional Jazz": Jazz
evolved in New Orleans, and was first identifiable as played by Buddy
Bolden's New Orleans band sometime between 1900 and 1905. That style of
music, as played in New Orleans between 1905 and 1917 (and, of course it
has been played there and everyplace else since then) is called "New
Orleans Jazz".  Because of World War I and the associated closing of the
Storyville New Orleans red light district, most of the musicians playing
that style of music moved out of New Orleans, many - because of the
availability of jobs - moved to Chicago.  Young Chicago musicians, upon
hearing New Orleans Jazz, started playing their variation of it; and
that is called "Chicago Jazz".  Any New Orleans Jazz or Chicago Jazz is
called Dixieland Jazz.
		
		I wrote all that to explain what "Traditional Jazz" is,
and the answer is, "I'll be damned if I know".
		
		What I was leading up to was going to define
"Traditional Jazz" as the same as "New Orleans Jazz", and that doesn't
sound right, does it?
		I give up. 
		
		How are you doing, Bruce?
		
		George Hunt
