History

Shortly after the beginning of the 20th century, the poor whites and Creoles of the Mississippi Delta began to take an interest in the Hot and its influence produced some variations in the way New Orleans bands played: improvisations developed more, tempos were accelerated and less "African" rhythmic structures were sought. The new style was "less expressive, but with greater technical resources", with more polished melodies and "clean" harmonies. In addition, the piano and saxophone were introduced, and new instrumental techniques were developed, such as the tailgate style of trombonists.
