The sound of early jazz is well-known in the form of an en- semble comprised of three or four wind instruments simultaneously playing divergent musical lines with the support of a rhythm section. When the first jazz recordings were made in 1917, this so-called Dixieland style was well-defined and seemingly fully formed. However Bolden's band was different—what folks in New Orleans called a \"string band\"—a stripped down dance orchestra using a guitar in place of piano.
