Livery Stable blues
Posted on February 24th, 2013 by Dearieme
In 1917 the first jazz record ever released was a smash hit: Livery Stable Blues by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band.
But it’s all a bit rattle-and-clang: there’s a far superior version by the excellent NORKs – the New Orleans Rhythm Kings. Just let youtube lead you through many of their other tracks.

I have a 1922 version on a NORKs CD, although the track is listed as being performed when they called themselves the Friars Society Orchestra.
