The Original Dixieland Jass Band was a Dixieland jazz band that made the first jazz recordings in early 1917. Their "Livery Stable Blues" became the first jazz record issued; the group composed and recorded many jazz standards, the most famous being "Tiger Rag". In late 1917 the spelling of the band's name was changed to Original Dixieland Jazz Band; the band consisted of five musicians. They were a racially integrated group of musicians who played for parades and advertising in New Orleans. ODJB billed itself as the Creators of Jazz, it was the first band to have hit recordings in the genre. Band leader and cornetist Nick LaRocca argued that ODJB deserved recognition as the first band to record jazz commercially and the first band to establish jazz as a musical idiom or genre. In early 1916 a promoter from Chicago approached clarinetist Alcide Nunez and drummer Johnny Stein about bringing a New Orleans-style band to Chicago, where the similar Brown's Band From Dixieland, led by trombonist Tom Brown, was enjoying success.

They assembled trombonist Eddie Edwards, pianist Henry Ragas, cornetist Frank Christian. Shortly before they were to leave, Christian backed out, Nick LaRocca was hired as a last-minute replacement. On March 3, 1916 the musicians began their job at Schiller's Cafe in Chicago under the name Stein's Dixie Jass Band; the band was received offers of higher pay elsewhere. Since Stein as leader was the only musician under contract by name, the rest of the band broke off, sent to New Orleans for drummer Tony Sbarbaro, on June 5, started playing under the name, The Dixie Jass Band. LaRocca and Nunez had personality conflicts, on October 30 Tom Brown's Band and ODJB agreed to swap clarinetists, bringing Larry Shields into the Original Dixieland Jass Band; the band attracted the attention of theatrical agent Max Hart. At the start of 1917 the band began an engagement playing for dancing at Reisenweber's Cafe, on Columbus Circle, in Manhattan. While a couple of other New Orleans bands had passed through New York City earlier, they were part of vaudeville acts.

ODJB, on the other hand, played for dancing and hence, were the first "jass" band to get a following of fans in New York and record at a time when the American recording industry was centered in the northeastern United States in New York City and Camden, New Jersey. Shortly after arriving in New York, a letter dated January 29, 1917, offered the band an audition for the Columbia Graphophone Company; the session took place on Wednesday, January 31, 1917. Nothing from this test session was issued; the band recorded two sides for the Victor Talking Machine Company, "Livery Stable Blues" and "Dixieland Jass Band One-Step", on February 26, 1917 at Victor's New York studios. These titles were released as Victor 18255 in the first issued jazz record; the band's recordings, first marketed as a novelty, were a surprise hit, gave many Americans their first taste of jazz. Musician Joe Jordan sued, since the "One Step" incorporated portions of his 1909 ragtime composition "That Teasin' Rag"; the record labels subsequently were changed to "Introducing'That Teasin' Rag' by Joe Jordan".

A court case dispute over the authorship of "Livery Stable Blues" resulted in the judge declaring the tune in the "public domain". In the wake of the group's success of the Victor record, the ODJB returned to Columbia in May, recording two selections of popular tunes of the day chosen for them by the label "Darktown Strutters' Ball" and " Indiana" as catalogue #A-2297. Numerous jazz bands were formed in the wake of the success of ODJB that copied and replicated its style and sound. Bands were brought from Chicago and California in an attempts to join the jazz craze. Established bands of different types and bandleaders such as Wilbur Sweatman began billing their groups as "jass" or "jazz" bands. Earl Fuller, bandleader at a competing New York venue, was ordered by management to form a "jass" band. W. C. Handy recorded one of the earliest cover versions of an ODJB tune when he released a recording of "Livery Stable Blues" by Handy's Orchestra of Memphis for Columbia in 1917. In 1918, the song "When You Hear That Dixieland Jazz Band Play" by Shelton Brooks, "the King of Ragtime Writers", was published by Will Rossiter in Chicago.

It was a tribute to the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. When the New Orleans Jazz style swept New York by storm in 1917 with the arrival of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, Jimmy Durante was part of the audience at Reisenweber's Cafe on Columbus Circle when ODJB played that venue. Durante was impressed with the band and invited them to play at a club called the Alamo in Harlem where Jimmy played piano. Durante had his friend, Johnny Stein, assemble a group of like-minded New Orleans musicians to accompany his act at the Alamo. Stein did so, with a band consisting of fellow veterans of the Laine bands in New Orleans, other than pianist Durante. In late 1918 they recorded two sides for Okeh under the name of the New Orleans Jazz Band, they recorded the same two numbers a couple of months for Gennett under the name of Original New Orleans Jazz Band, in 1920 the same group recorded again for Gennett as Jimmy Durante's Jazz Band. They billed themselves as "Durante's Jazz and Novelty Band". Both LaRocca and Sbarbaro were children of immigrants from the Italian region of Sicily.

Christian observances of Yom Kippur occur when a Christian-style Day of Atonement models itself on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. As observed by the Living Church of God and United Church of God: The Christian Day of Atonement is based on the English translation of the Jewish Holy day Yom Kippur; the day is commemorated with a 25-hour fast by Jews, but a 24-hour fast by Christians who observe it. While not observed by the mainstream of professing Christianity, the Christian groups that do observe it refer to it as the Day of Atonement... The Sacred Name Movement and groups reject Easter and Christmas as pagan in origin and observe the holy days of Leviticus 23 such as Yom Kippur, as well as Passover and the Feast of Weeks. Messianic Jewish congregations devote serious effort at presenting a rationale for taking Yom Kippur; such as by the Emmanuel Messianic Jewish Congregation: For believers in Yeshua, both Jewish and non-Jewish, the observance of Yom Kippur can hold special significance. The repentance started at Rosh HaShanah comes to a culmination with atonement ten days later.

As with the traditional Jewish community, those ten days can take on spiritual meaning as we meditate on the meaning of the high holy days. Although there are not many customs directly relating to the ten days, the message could be applied to a believer's daily meditation at that time. Traditional readings from the book of Jonah, Hosea 14 and other pertinent passages can enhance one's appreciation of the season... Blessed be the Lord God, who has secured our salvation in Yeshua the Messiah! That is what Yom Kippur is all about for those who call on his name... Jews for Jesus describes its observances of this day as follows:... Yom Kippur can be somewhat of a conundrum to Jewish believers in Y'shua. Do we fast and confess our sins like the rest of the Jewish community or do we rejoice in the knowledge that we're forgiven in Messiah? Many Jewish believers view Yom Kippur as a time for identification with our Jewish people, introspection for ourselves and intercession for loved ones, knowing all the while that Jesus is the One that makes us at one with God...

The same organization posts the histories of adherents who came to observe Yom Kippur as a part of worshiping Jesus: Synagogue is hardly the scene to begin a story about believing in Jesus, but it was there my questions started... From that point on, the entire Bible opened up. God's own Word described the One who would come, bear the sins of humanity, be rejected. I knew. I had met the God of Israel, it was through this Yom Kippur prayer. There is no explaining away of sin, but there is a sin-bearer and "…that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses." Christian observances of Jewish holidays
