The premise ip that Jazi was introduced into the states through New Orleans. Nobody can dispute that, foi it • fact that the Delta was ringing with ja** as far back op the eighties. "The famed Hterateur, La- fcadio tfearn, as long . ago as 18S6 wrote of the existence in New Orleans of a music of a rudimentary syncopated ty|>e known as Jas*. We also know that ‘Stale Bread’ La Como and hi* troupe of white boys were ^featured in the joints of New Orleans’ Stor^ville in he nineties, when they were bHled as ‘“Hiat Razzy Jazz Spasm Band.* “We know too that such pioneers as E^dd$» Bolden, Freddie Keppard, and Jelly Itoll ^ Morton were giving out hot licks before the turn of the century. We know still further that New Orlean.«i cradled the very greatest of hot virtuosi ” “Of only two things can we be obsqjutely certain regardiing jazz music: It was introduced to this country through New Orleans, and it was introduced to New Orleans toy the Negro- e»." SWING IN 1712 "According t# all available history, the first blacks to arrive in the Louisiana settlement were brought theA in 1712 by Am- toine Crozat, a French banker. It is more than lilcely *that most of these came from Cuba, where the African slave trade existed since li&23, scarcely 30 years Cuba’s discovery by Oolumljus. Here in Cuiba, the Negroes’ in- ,jtinctive sense of rhjrthm wauld naturally ^Vf combined with the musiciU talents of their Spanish captf>r», creating a new style of music, it is a matter of record tha^ in the years 18O0 and 1'810, more than 3,000 of these Cuban Negrops w e r e brought into New Orleans. It is safe to assume that they brought with them this strange new AfticoiSpanish music. "Te^clinch the aagument with academic authority, Professor Charles Morrison Patterson, ppychologisl who apparently had studied the hot idi^m, said DOLLY SISTERS PRE DATED OIXIEI4AMD JAZZ “The firat muHc to hit Broad way that anywhere near resem* Ucd jazz came directly from Cuba via the Dolly listera in 1»13. The aiitem, ^ancai and R"wika, former Pollief dancers who are now married into Euro pean nobility, made a profession all tour of Cuiba. There they v»ere struck with the vivacious, teas- i^g qualities of a certain tyipe of music played by the> iGuban Negroea, “On their r>iturn to New ¥"ork, wkere they were bcoked for Ziegfeld’s Midnight FroHPj on the New Amsterdam Roof, they tried to describe the music to Ziegfeld.
