An influential group in Chicago from 1957-1965, the Original Jass All Stars was founded by Swing era clarinet- and saxophonist Franz Jackson who united several African-American jazz players of the 1920's to play traditional, New Orleans-styled music. Bob Shoffner, John Thomas, Al Wynn, Rozelle Claxton, Ralph Tervalon, Lawrence Dixon, Bill Oldham and Richard Curry are heard playing selections from their five LPs from the period.
