原創的迪克西蘭爵士樂 樂隊。

Jazz had been evolving for almost a decade before it was recorded – and a white New Orleans band called the Original Dixieland Jazz Band beat all the superior Southland black bands to it. The ODJB were a raucous but lively five-piece influenced by the sound of Louis Armstrong mentor King Oliver's New Orleans groups. In 1917, following a successful New York run, the band cut tracks in the Victor studios that sold massively and launched a global jazz craze.

爵士在被記錄之前已逐步發展近十年， - 懷特新奧爾良樂隊擊敗所有優越的南國黑帶被稱為原始迪克西蘭爵士樂樂隊。 ODJB是一個受路易斯阿姆斯壯恩師King Oliver的新奧爾良樂隊聲音影響，聲音沙啞卻生動的五人樂隊。1917年，在紐約成功運行後，樂隊在勝者工作室剪輯音樂，出售大量的曲目，並帶動了全球性的爵士樂熱潮。
