[Gerald Cohen]

> 
>> 
>>  
>> David Gold's 2009 book Studies in Etymology and Etiology (non-comittally)
>> reproduces a 1989 item which derives the term "jazz" from a New Orleans
>> "Razzy Dazzy Jazzy Band."
>>  
>> I'm trying to find evidence for the earliest attestations of this band name
>> (with "Jazzy" in the title).  A search of Google turns up various items, but
>> no hard evidence of the date.
>>  
>> Ads-l researchers have traced the use of "jazz" in a musical sense to Chicago
>> 1915. (Gold was evidently unaware of ads-l's postings on the term).  Is there
>> any evidence at all that the name "Razzy Dazzy Jazzy Band" predates this?
>> HDAS gives 1917 as the earliest date for ³jazzy² thusfar noticed.
>> Any information would be very gratefully received.
