Part 3: the cradle New Orleans. Around 1900 jazz like music was created in all American cities with a considerable amount of coloured population but New Orleans was definitely the focal point. Trends were set and the best bands, vocalists and soloists came from there. Creoles, children of former slaves, Sicilians and Yankees listened to each other and developed the first world music in that way .
