Jazz was born in New Orleans. True story. Anybody who'll try to tell you otherwise just doesn't know. See? Wikipedia agrees.Dixieland music is a style of jazz. Dixieland developed in New Orleans at the start of the 20th century, and spread to Chicago and New York City by New Orleans bands in the 1910s, and was, for a period, quite popular among the general public.
