[JPL] Q about the "first" jazz recording

[ANTNYBROWN at aol.com]

Arturo, 
I don't have any of my sources handy, but I recall that cornetist Freddie 
Keppard was approached about recording and turned down the offer before the 
ODJB's first session in 1917. The first Black NO style jazz band to record was Kid 
Ory's in 1921/1922 in Los Angeles with the Nordskog record company.
