In this episode, Savanah takes the reins (trying to spell that word reminded Delia of Tik Tok videos explaining why English is so hard!).  We go over a short history on the origins of jazz from its roots in slavery to a growth spurt in the Big Easy (New Orleans!) where musicians like Buddy Bolden and Nick La Rocca shaped jazz into what we know today.  Savanah shares her upbeat recommendations for those wanting to delve into the genre for the first time (and, naturally, Delia has a very grim one).

(As a sidenote, Delia doesn't mention this in the episode, but alligator?  It tastes like chicken, but rubbery).
