Stein’s Dixie Jass Band, Chicago, c. March 1916

Questa è la prima fotografia conosciuta della band destinata 

nel giro in pochi mesi a diventare l'Original Dixieland Jazz Band.

Arrivati a Chicago all'inizio di marzo 1916

 con un ingaggio di dieci settimane allo Schiller Cafe,

 tutti i membri della band,compreso il batterista Johnny Stein, 

si dimisero per la mancanza di un aumento di stipendio

 e si trasferirono al Del'Abe Cafe nell'Hotel Normandy, 

diventando la Original Dixieland Jass Band.
