Chicago Jazz
Chicago jazz from the 1920s: hot cornet, clarinet, tenor banjo, playful and raw in feel. A name-free Suno recipe that reproduces the signature sound without tripping the artist-name filter.
History
Chicago jazz took shape from about 1917, when leading New Orleans players such as Joe "King" Oliver, Tom Brown and Jelly Roll Morton came to a city that had mostly heard salon orchestras. From 1917 to 1928 Chicago was the main jazz centre, and the Chicago school that formed there drew on New Orleans style and swing. Two wings took their final shape then: the hot jazz of black musicians and the dixieland of white ones. In 1918 bassist Bill Johnson was asked to put a band together for the Royal Gardens cabaret; cornetist Buddy Petit would not leave his home town, so the job went to Oliver. His King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band played the Lincoln Gardens, and in 1922 he brought in Louis Armstrong as second trumpet next to clarinetist Johnny Dodds, pianist Lil Hardin and drummer Baby Dodds. On the 1923 records Oliver leads the theme, Armstrong decorates underneath and all seven play together, with only one or two solos per piece. Oliver's cornet solo on "Sugar Foot Stomp", a new version of "Dippermouth Blues", where he keeps putting the mute in and taking it out, became a model for jazzmen of the 1920s and 1930s.
