New Orleans Jazz has a long and rich history. The overarching term New Orleans Jazz actually covers several genres- from Dixieland, to Zydeco, to Blues. The highlights of New Orleans Jazz are here brought together in a single album which celebrates those early years: the good tunes, foot-stomping rhythms and rich harmonies which marked out jazz as a unique new art form created to charm and delight the ear. Authentic ensembles are featured, including Louis Armstrong & His Dixieland Sever, Kid Ory & His Band, Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers, and many more.
