On 26-February-1917, the Original Dixieland Jass Band made the first known jazz record, "Livery Stable Blues" and "Dixieland Jass Band One-Step," at the Victor studios.
This is an ad for an upcoming residency at the Busoni's Danceland on Broadway at 95th Street. Sadly, the ODJB members went on to insist that jazz was invented by white people, specifically themselves.

And on the same page of the same issue of the same newspaper, we find this ad for the ODJB, which was appearing nightly at Busoni's Danceland in Coney Island. I wonder if the band commuted back and forth between the two places, or if they shifted from Coney Island to Broadway.
