To me, traditional jazz encompasses the music of New Orleans, Ragtime, Dixieland, Stride Piano, Boogie Woogie and Swing. In terms of time, the period of its development was roughly 1899 to 1945. New Orleans Jazz and Dixieland had a revival in the '40s which led to the Trad Boom in the UK in the '50s. Find Out More.
