Jubilee Stomp, played by Tuba Skinny

New Orleans Jazz is a style of music that developed in the early 20th century in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is a fusion of European-American musical styles, with influences from African American music, particularly blues and ragtime. It is characterized by collective improvisation, syncopated rhythms, and a polyphonic texture of horns, strings, and woodwinds. As an early form of jazz, it is considered to be the foundation of many of the more modern forms of the genre, such as swing, bebop, and modern jazz.

Jubilee Stomp is a popular jazz tune composed by Duke Ellington. It was first recorded in 1927 by Ellington and his orchestra, and the song quickly became a hit. The song is characterized by its upbeat tempo and toe-tapping rhythms. The melody is also quite catchy, featuring a call-and-response between the brass and reed sections of the orchestra. It is a classic jazz tune, and has been recorded by many other jazz greats, such as Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman.

The tune was inspired by a parade in Ellington's hometown of Washington, D.C., which featured a band playing a song called "Jubilee Stomp". Ellington's version of the tune is more uptempo than the original, and features complex harmonies and rhythms. The song has been interpreted in many different ways over the years, but it remains a true classic of jazz. It is sure to get your feet tapping and your body grooving.
