Dixieland music is a style of jazz. Dixieland developed in New Orleans, Louisiana at the start of the 20th century, and spread to Chicago, Illinois and New York City, New York by New Orleans bands in the 1910s, and was, for a period, quite popular among the general public. It is often considered the first true type of jazz, and was the first music referred to by the term jazz (before 1917 often spelled jass).

The style combined earlier brass band marches, French Quadrilles, ragtime and blues with collective, polyphonic improvisation by trumpet, trombone, and clarinet.

The term Dixieland became widely used after the advent of the first million-selling hit records of the Original Dixieland Jass Band in 1917. The music has been played continuously since the early part of the 20th century. Louis Armstrong's All-Stars was the band most popularly identified with Dixieland, although Armstrong's own influence runs through all of jazz.

Answer 3

The word was first used to describe the southern states of the USA.
It's origin comes from the Mason-Dixon Line, which divided the early USA into slavery states (south of the line) and non-slavery states (north of it). The line was established by two English government officials, the astronomer Charles Mason and the surveyor Jeremiah Dixon. They arrived in America in November 1763 and finished their work - a 233 mile long dividing line - in October 1767. Soon after the northern states became known in local slang as the "Mason states" (after Charles Mason, but more in association with the strong presence of Free Masons there) and the southern states were "the Dixies". This became "Dixie" and "Dixieland", especially in the build-up to the Civil War and in the war itself. After 1865 the word gained a sentimental quality, reminding southerners of what they had lost.
Later a version of southern Jazz music became also known as "Dixieland".

Answer 7

Dixie land is everything south of the Mason-Dixie line in the United states.

Properly, the Mason-Dixon line is part of the borders of Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, surveyed when they were still British colonies.

However, the Mason-Dixon line became symbolic of the division between the "free states" and "slave states" during the American Civil War, and now it refers to the South - Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, Arkansas, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and possible Virginia and Kentucky.
