Saturday Jazz Performance! - "The Original Dixieland One Step" - New Orleans Stompers


Jazz is alive and well in Japan! My father, George A. Borgman, always said that jazz was for the world and he was right! Today's Jazz Performance of Original Dixieland One Step is by the New Orleans Stompers and was recorded at The Misty West in Yokohama, Japan on March 26 2022.

The Original Dixieland One Step was originally released as the Dixie Jass Band One Step in 1917 by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band who composed the tune. It has since become a jazz standard.

The musicians playing are, Kato Sinichi on trumpet; Matumoto Koji on trombone; Goto Masahiro on clarinet; Yamazaki Masanobu on piano; Kodaira Akihiro on banjo; Ito Jyoichi on bass, Yosii Tetuji on drums; and it looks like the second trombone player is Nakajima Jiro. A couple of other players are listed along with the video, but, it doesn't look like they appear in this video.  

Here is the first recording of the tune played by the originators of it, The Original Dixieland Jazz Band recorded on February 26, 1917 in New York, with a nice presentation and audio restoration by Atticus Jazz!
