Freddie Keppard carried the unofficial title "King" of the New Orleans cornet to Chicago, recording here through the 1920s. Legend holds that he turned down the chance to make the first jazz record in 1915, reportedly for fear rivals would steal his style off the wax — leaving that footnote in history to the Original Dixieland Jass Band instead.
