Classic jazz was born at the dawn of the twentieth century in New Orleans, when blues, spirituals and ragtime merged in the first marching bands. Its soul is improvisation: wrapped in swing, the dialogue between the horn section turns every performance into a one-of-a-kind event. From the dazzling Roaring Twenties of the early Louis Armstrong to the elegant big bands of the 1930s and ’40s, this music introduced the Afro-American musical tradition and innovations, and the experience it expressed, to the rest of America and the world at large. In our section you can relive the energy of Louis Armstrong and The All Stars, the retro vibe of Vintage Jazz Café – 1920s-40s Swing & Jazz Mix, the vibrant roots of New Orleans Jazz, the blues-tinged poetry of Billie’s Blues, the frenzy of The Best of Original Dixieland Jazz Band and much more!
