In what year was jazz first recorded?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the year when jazz was first recorded.
Option 1: 1917. This is the historically correct choice, since the Original Dixieland Jass Band made the first widely recognized jazz recordings in 1917, notably 'Livery Stable Blues' and 'Dixie Jass Band One-Step.' These records mark the inaugural commercial capture of jazz on phonograph.
Option 2: 1922. While jazz continued to grow in popularity after 1917, 1922 is not the year of the first recording. It would be several years later and does not reflect the earliest documentation of jazz.
Option 3: 1906. Although jazz developed in the early 20th century, 1906 predates the first known jazz recordings. There were impressions of jazz and ragtime, but no definitive recorded jazz from that year.
Option 4: 1910. This year is during the formative period of jazz, but again it predates the first surviving jazz recordings. Without a recorded example from 1910, it cannot be identified as the first recording year.
Option 5: 1914. Similar to 1910 and 1906, 1914 lies before the first jazz records were made, so it cannot be correct for the question as stated.
