Q. Why are they called "Acoustic Jass"
A. Their instruments are
Acoustic & they play jass, which was what Jazz was called before the
move from New Orleans to Chicago as in "The Original Dixieland Jass
Band". Some say that the name was changed because the J's were
scratched out on their publicity material,
but others say that jass was a rude word.
