English— or rather, into the
American— language

wrote that It was "without

Jazz Is not a derived word.
It was coined and, according to
Meat. .Tamos Reese-Europe, U.
S. A., who conducted one of
the jazziest jazz bands, it owes
its origin to a man named Razz,
whose musical organization was
famous in New Orleans some
15 years ago. Razz is reputed
to have been the first to realize
the harmony and appealing
finality which resides in saxo­
phones, trombones, snare drums
and the like, when played with
n snap and dash.
So lie spe­
cialized in tills kind of synco­
pated music and his fame
spread throughout the South,,
imitators springing up in vari­
ous sections.
One o f these
which toured Missouri and the
middle West, styled itself the
“ Jnss-bnnd” — slightly
nltering
the name of the original lead­
er.
In the course of a year or
so the final “ s's” were changed
to “ z’s.” Jazz-hands made their
appearance from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, and “ jazz” slipped
into the language and even into
the dictionaries.

The United States public health ser­

attack of measles or scarlet fever or
smallpox usually protects a person
against another attack of the same

to be true also of influenza. Just how
long such protection lasts is not
known.
