By ROGER HENKLE
Copy Editor
Louis Armstrong, one of the gi
ants of American jazz, will give
University students a taste of
"Dixieland" jazz at the Interfrater
nity Council Ball Friday.
Dixieland is the first and most
influential "school" of American
jazz. Since jazz may be said to
be essentially melodic improvisa
tion on a certain distinct hythm,
Dixieland is as close to its origins
as any type of modern - day music.
The actual beginnings of jazz are
unclear. Certainly the background
of African native rythms were car
ried into the United States by the
slave - trade Negroes. But the
chord - structure and the melo
dy clearly developed out of Amer
ican and English folk - music.
The work song of the men on
the levees and the railroads was
th first form of the "blues." which
later became the core of most jazz
work. The Negro plantation work
ers of the South began to pick up
the messages of the Bible, ana
work them into spirituals.
This curious combination w worK
snn sniritnal and minstrel tune
became, in the late nineteenth cen-
turv. the blues sons, and then Dix
ieland. The name, Dixieland, grew
out of the name originally given
the South bv Neero slaves sent
there by Johaan Dixie. In New
Orleans, the Dixie was an Ameri
canization of the French word dix,
which was printed on New Orleans
ten-dollar bills.
New Orleans was the home of
Dixieland and the birthplace of
jazz. From 1897 to 1917, a district
of New Orleand called "Story-
ville was set aside by law tor li
censed Destitution. The district fil
led up with Negros who began to
get together into little groups to
play blues songs. '
These were part - time musicians

who marched to wakes and funer
als, and Daraded through New Or
leans with their bands, whenever
they could find an excuse, iney
played old jazzed up spirituals,
like "When the Saints Go Marching
In."
This era was filled with almost-
legendary musicians who poured
out heartsful ot jazz in tne Doraei
los and bars of Storyville. "Jelly
Roll" Morton, King Oliver, and Sid
ney Bechet ruled the jazz world.
At that time, too, the young Louis
Armstrong got his start.
Armstrong was born on July 4,
1900, in New Orleans. He bummed
around the French Quarter, playing
a guitar for pennies, until, in 1914,
he was sent to a Waif's Home,
where he learned to play the cor
net. After that, Louis hung around
King Oliver, picking up enough
knowledge of music and feeling
for iazz to reriace Oliver when the
King went to Chicago.
Armstrong played on riverooats
and cabarets in New Orleans until
1922, when he joined Oliver in Chi
cago. Chicago was then the jazz
center of the nation, and Louis
played with all the great bands,
Oliver, Fletch Henderson and Kid
Ory. He formed his own group, cal
led the "Hot Five," and recorded
in 1925.
From then on Armstrong's life
has b-en a drifting path from place
to place. Sometimes leading his
own band, sometimes playing with
others, he has toured the United
States and Europe, keeping up oa
all the jazz movements and evolv
ing with his music.
Armstrong sometimes called
"Satchmo," "Pops!" or "Dipper
mouth" is generally considered
the top trumpetist in American
jazz. The "riffs" and "stretching.
ouis , ana impruvisauuuo vi jijv
ieland have largely come from him.
Jazz has changed a lot since the
early days in New Orleans, but
Armstrong has been a pace - set
ter most of the way.
The Brubecks and the Gillespies
of modern jazz have split away
from Dixieland, and for almost ten
years, since the "swing" period of
the forties, there has been a schism
in jazz. Now, the new leaders of
jazz, like Mel Powell and Ruby
Graff, httve tried to knit to gether
the two branches, and are re
discovering Dixieland.
The most authentic Dixieland is
still the- Louis Armstrong type.
With a new troupe, he will appear
Friday at the Turnpike Ballroom
from 8:30 to 12 p.m. to play at the
IFC ball. Tickets are now on
sale at $3.25 in fraternity houses.
