Zito Phil And His New Orleans International City DixielandersThe Original Dixieland Jass Band (ODJB) was an American jazz band known for being the first to commercially record jazz music in 1917, including the notable tracks "Livery Stable Blues" and "Tiger Rag." Active primarily from 1916 to 1926 and later from 1936 to 1938, the ODJB played a pivotal role in popularizing jazz as a distinct musical genre. The group, which originated in New Orleans, is often credited with establishing the foundations of Dixieland jazz and remains influential in the genre's history. The band's commercial success led to many subsequent jazz formations inspired by their style. (Source: Wikipedia)
