Like the New Orleans tradition that preceded it, and the Swing Era offerings that followed it, Chicago jazz was not just the music of a time and place, but also a timeless style of performance - and for its exponents, very much a way of life - one that continues to reverberate to this day in the works of countless Dixieland and traditional jazz bands around the world. For many listeners, the Chicago style remains nothing less than the quintessential sound of jazz. Ted Gioia
About This Quote

The traditional sound of jazz that is being described here is the one that has been around for a very long time. The sound of jazz can cause people to become nostalgic and reflect on the good old days. In the case of Chicago, the “old days” were a time when people were happy and performed music in a way that they enjoyed. The traditional sound of jazz will always be a part of our lives as long as we have a good sense of heritage to remember those days by.
