Song Title: “Livery Stable Blues”
As time passed this piece was also referred to as the “Barn Yard Blues.” It is the very FIRST recording of Jass music. The year was 1917, and it was recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass Band (ODJB).

Tom Roberts – piano
This performance by Dan Levinson’s Roof Garden Jass Band is a recreation of the piece as it was performed in 1917. The instruments used and the musical arrangement is as near exact as possible.
I own the CD that Dan produced with 21 songs on it, and I highly recommend it. Every number is unique and exciting!
All of the songs are performed with loving care to be as nearly perfect as posible to the way the ODJB would have sounded if you could have listened to them live in the recording studio back when they made their original recordings.

This song was one of several I recorded of Dan Levinson’s Roof Garden Jass Band while attending the Annual Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival held in Davenport, Iowa. This was at a set in the famous Col Ballroom, and the band was wonderful.
