Dixieland Jazz

Dixieland Jazz, also known as Traditional Jazz or New Orleans Jazz, is a style of jazz that originated in New Orleans in the early 1900s. It’s characterized by its upbeat tempo, improvisational nature, and a specific ensemble of instruments including a “front line” of trumpet, clarinet, and trombone, backed by a “rhythm section” often featuring piano, drums, double bass, and sometimes banjo or guitar.
