Episode 1: The 1920s: the New Orleans Style.
The first jazz sounded in New York in 1917. We’re there at Restaurant Reisenweber. It’s fun dancing at home to those 78-rpm records full of animal noises. The jazz really starts when Louis Armstrong begins improvising on the trumpet and as a vocalist. The sound engineer doesn’t know what to think when Louis Armstrong walks into the studio with his Hot Five. Jelly Roll Morton, the ‘inventor’ of jazz, expanded the New Orleans orchestra and bridged the gap to the big band.
