The appearance of the name "Jazz" comes from a series of anecdotes related to the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Legend, and perhaps the most accepted of all existing, during the performance of this band in the Schiller's Café in Chicago in 1916, still under the name Johnny Stein's Band, a retired actor varieties stood up shouted "Jass it up, boys!" in an advanced state of intoxication. Until then "jass" was a word used in the slums of Chicago and southern blacks to refer to sexual pleasure and business. Until then nobody had used in reference to music.
Legend has it that this customer was hired to every night yelling "jass it up, boys" at the right time. Because of this the band soon became known as Stein's Dixie Jass Band, and when he moved to New York changed the name of The Original Dixieland Jass Band, and later, and a typographical error appeared as Jasz Original Dixieland Band, there change to Jaz and finally adopted the definitive Jazz.
The word Jazz already had sexual connotations ODJB before, but some dictionaries of the era and earlier even mention the word "jazz" as a synonym for copulation, vagina, sex, women considered only as sex objects ", even in the middle nineteenth century was used as a verb Creole in the jargon as "exciting, stimulating, speed things up:" That Thing jazz. " Also used the word "Jazzy" to refer to people who dressed conspicuously.
probably at first the word "Jazz" was used pejoratively to refer to this "new" music and its origins in brothels and brothels.
