On February 26th 1917, an all-white group of musicians known as The Original Dixieland Jass Band, stepped into a studio at Victor Talking Machine Company in New York City, and recorded Livery Stable Blues. This marked the first time that jass had ever been committed to wax. The cut would sell over a million copies (.75c retail)
