A Word From the Author  I agree, and the first Jazz band was the all White Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band.In a way, but mostly marching band, classical and ragtime, ragtime was started by White guys too, not kaffirs. Another lie. Jazz was not the first style of music to ever improvise. And musical improvisation is not an African thang. But Classical musicians were known to sometimes improvise during live performances, look it up Shylock Holmes. That's because Jazz was started by the RDSB, teenage street kids that were not properly trained musicians, and every since the 1920s and 30s they have been playing more sophisticated composed Jazz music. Whites were the first to start that too, of course. This is true. Also true. Noticed they say THOUGHT. That's because they know their full of ..it;) It was first played by The Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band. Some people think it was BuddyBolden, but it was the Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band. Jelly Roll Morton(who was MULATTO) claimed to have invented Jazz, he said what those older cats like the worthless pimp Buddy Bolden(who was MULATTO) were really playing ragtime and not real Jazz. Then again Nicky LaRocca and the Original Dixieland Jazz Band(all White) also claimed to have invented Jazz sometime around 1910-1915, well I'm sure in their minds they did create Jazz, because in a way..they did, but...no not really. The ODJB were the creators of the Dixieland style of Jazz along with Tom Brown(also White). They were also the first band to call themselves a Jass band which they later changed to Jazz because kids would scratch out the J on the signs and posters. So in a way..they did create Jazz because before them there was no Dixieland Jazz it was something different, more like ragtime style. And they were the ones to call themselves a Jass band first. So yes in a way there was some truth to the fact that they created JASS I'm sure they believed it was true and in a way..it is true. Yep. They were early mulatto jazz players alright. So? But so were the RDSB, ODJB, Tom Brown, Papa Jack Laine, Sharkey Bonano, Emmett Hardy who was known for outplaying Louis Armstong even though he was much younger, the RDSB cover group that called themselves the Razzy Dazzy JAZZY Band in 1900(first known instance of the word JAZZY being applied to music), the Louisiana Five, New Orleans Rhythm Kings, etc...  true dat homie. that's over stating it. White musicians have been much more influential on Jazz, I already pointed out how Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock were very influenced by White guys like Bix Beiderbecke,Sharkey Bonano, Emmett Hardy, Tom Brown, Papa Jack Laine, Bill Evans, the ODJB, Clare Fischer Gil Evans and classical composers like Ravel and Debussy among many others etc.... True. Because no one took Jazz seriously, it was a novelty in the early days. Because it was started by teenage street kids. Second wave of Black Jazz players, whoever wrote this seems to have forgotten all of the White players for some reason...hm...By the way all of those Black jass players down in old New Orleans were almost all mulattos, go look at a picture of Jelly Roll Morton he's about as Black as Obama is, if that. Took the music of earlier musicians, exactly you TOOk the words right out of my mouth:cool: No it was White people who made jazz more complex. Morons like Armstrong and Morton couldn't do anything besides play as fast and annoying and frantic as possible and yell and shout like animals for the most part. They certainly were more well known than the earlier jass' players of the time, true true. Wasn't I just saying how Black Jazz players just want to play as fast and rowdy as possible? I stand corrected:D Yes this fast, rowdy, annoying style of Jazz is indeed known as hot Jazz you get a cookie. And then the Jewish Karnofsky family adopted him and raised him as one of their own and bought him his first horn and got him into the music industry and got him all of this hype. Which is the reason he wore a hexagram pendant as a sign of gratitude for the rest of his life. Without the Karnofskys I doubt if anyone would ever have heard of some Louis Armstrong. He'd be in an unmarked grave in the 9th ward. That is someone's opinion, I don't think he was great at all he was a product of media hype thanks to the Jews.He sucked. Not all Black Jazz players sucked of course not, not as good as most of the White Jazz players:D But didn't suck, but Armstrong sucked the big one IMO. Especially when it came to singing, sounded like a drunken bull frog with a bad cold as I've said before.  Which is why the Third Reich made up those posters. Like I was saying. Armstrong becamse a star because he had the right people backing him..Of course...Yes, he did have an impact on Jazz music , of course. Unfortunately.   Certain people think Buddy Bolden invented Jazz, many do not. Even Jelly Roll Morton didn't think Bolden created Jazz, he said Bolden played ragtime. Plus the Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band was well known in New Orleans before Buddy Bolden. But Blacks and the mainstream media like to over look them....because they were White. It would go against the lie of Jazz being Black music.  This is true we'll never be able to know what his music sounded like . According to the mulatto Jelly Rolly Morton Bolden played ragtime, not what would be considered Jass at all.Also famous for being a mother whoring worthless pimp who beat women and a con artist(seriously). Buddy Bolden was like the 19th century version of a gangsta rapper. He was like the 19th century Too $hort:D  says who? no one alive has heard him. He's been dead for a hundred years or so. Ah! Just as I've been saying, you see son..I do know what I'm talking about;) Maybe. I'm sure they were. I do not dispute this. I'm sure it did. I'm sure it did.   Buddy Bolden did not invent Jazz, many Black musicians were just influenced by his style, yes, to be sure. What's your point?  This is someone's opinion. Prove that they were influenced by Buddy Bolden? No one can. I doubt they were because the guys from that band were known to be very racist. Especially Nick LaRocca. This is just the excuse Blacks come up with to explain why the first band to call themselves a Jass band, create the Dixieland style of Jazz, and record Jazz and popularize Jazz all around the US and in England was all White.;) Um...well..dey copied Buddy Bolden! Sho did! They didn't. They were all ORIGINAL my friend.I'm sure he did. Didn't I tell you he was a woman beating, mother whoring no good pimp? See, I actually know what I'm talking about amigo.;) Yeah, he was a nutcase. Nobody cares about him mwahaha:p No, it doesn't. You're absolutely right for the first time ever! You get another cookie!! It certainly was, right again! Bravo!! But by all accounts Bolden played a style more reminiscent of ragtime than Jazz , even Jelly Roll Moron said so. And..the Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band was first, and more well known around New Orleans than Bolden. Bolden was just well known down in da ghetto because he played run down whore houses and bars in Black neighborhoods, White people didn't go listen to him.
