Don't know much about Bway, but I thought TPA and Jazz started at about
the same time - TPA was songwriting & sheet music publishing centred in
New York from 1890's until 1950's or 1960's, and Jazz has spread all
over, but was from New Orleans starting about the same time. Jelly Roll
Morton said he invented it when he was about 12, but there are earlier
claims as well. When did Broadway start?
