Well I don't know which link to choose - none are in depth enough to add to the discussion in any meaningful way - but the view is repeated on various websites that jazz appeared in other locations simultaneously.

There are other websites which credit New Orleans with being the birthplace of Jazz.

I have been meaning to go to the library to do some proper research on it.

I remain open minded and look forward to discovering something i didn't know before.

I'll probably do it on tuesday.
