Jazz
​by Walter Dean Myers

Musicians have been creating and playing jazz for over a hundred years, and many musicians lived and played in New Orleans. Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, and Duke Ellington are some of the first famous Black musicians who played jazz in New Orleans in nightclubs, and later on records and throughout the world.
