“ja zz” has slipped Into the
English— or rather, into the
American— language

the
mule o f which Mark Twain
wrote that It was "without
pride of ancestry or hope of
posterity.”
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

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.
