All that Jazz!

Fifth graders have been learning about Jazz.

Here are some bonus facts about Jazz:

1. The Original Dixieland Jazz Band is the first Jazz group to record themselves. They started recording in 1917.


2. Jazz was also called Jas or Jass.

3. Jazz originated in New Orleans, but was also very popular in Chicago, California, and New York, Kansas City, Brazil, and Cuba.



Bonus question: I talked about a jazz performer who's music is featured in the movie WALL-E. Do you remember the name of the performer or the name of the composition?
