The
Original Dixieland Jass Band (ODJB) were a
New Orleans,
Dixieland jazz band that made the first jazz recordings in early 1917. Their "
Livery Stable Blues" became the first jazz single ever issued. The group made the first recordings, and claimed authorship, of many
jazz standards, the most famous being "
Tiger Rag". In late 1917 the spelling of the band's name was changed to
Original Dixieland Jazz Band.
