Jazz is a unique musical style that was able to combine the incompatible: the rhythms of black Americans and the harmony of European composers, the complexity of classical music and the danceability of popular music. Since its appearance at the beginning of the 20th century, jazz has become so influential on all subsequent generations of music lovers that the American Dialect Society recognized it as the word of the twentieth century. Although it is still not known for sure what it means. Jazz is generally recognized as a type of complex musical art with its expressive delivery, improvisations and constant experiments.
The history of jazz could only begin in a city like New Orleans. In the 19th century, when the first prerequisites for the emergence of jazz appeared, a unique culture was formed in this city. It has been preserved there to this day and is a fusion of French and Spanish identities with a large addition of African-American flavor. Therefore, it was in such an environment that jazz could be born. And when its development began to contribute to the growth of black self-consciousness, and it began to be banned in New Orleans, the baton of developing jazz music was taken up by St. Louis, Kansas City and Memphis. In these and other cities, such jazz musical trends as swing, be-bop and many others began to develop. They began to influence each other and formed the rich musical culture that jazz has today.

Vinyl records and jazz have a rich mutually beneficial history that cannot be bought. Their appearance, rapid development and widespread distribution occurred at about the same time. In addition, the popularity of jazz contributed to the increased demand for vinyl records and vice versa.

This honor belongs to the Original Dixieland Jass Band, with the song Livery Stable Blues. Thanks to its distribution on vinyl, many Americans were introduced to jazz for the first time. Later, all the legends of this style, from Louis Armstrong to Dizzy Gillespie, were released on records.
