Comment:

Before there was bebop, or even big-band swing, Dixieland started up a hot-jazz hurricane in New Orleans, with bits of ragtime, blues, and brass bands soaring through its slipstream. When Sidney Bechet, King Oliver, and Louis Armstrong blew the winds of change into the Crescent City air, the echoes could be heard all the way into the 21st century, from the Marsalis family to Terence Blanchard and beyond.
