Dixieland music or
New Orleans jazz, sometimes referred to as
hot jazz or
early jazz, is a style of
jazz music which developed in
New Orleans at the start of the 20th century, and was spread to
Chicago and
New York City by New Orleans bands in the 1910s. Well-known
jazz standard songs from the Dixieland era, such as "
Basin Street Blues" and "
When the Saints Go Marching In", are known even to non-jazz fans. With its beginnings in riverboat jazz, Dixieland progressed to Chicago-style jazz or hot jazz as developed by
Louis Armstrong and others. The latter was also a transition and combination of 2-beat to 4-beat, introducing swing in its earliest form. "Chicago style" musicians used the
string bass instead of the
tuba and the
guitar instead of the
banjo to play a faster-paced, swinging style that emphasized solos. Hot jazz or Chicago-style jazz was also the current original music that began the
Lindy Hop dance craze as it developed in
Harlem.
