2017 marks a century from the recording of what is historically considered the first jazz record, but very few know that it was recorded by Nick La Rocca, a Sicilian emigrant to New Orleans. Featuring interviews to American music critics, historians and archivists, as well as amazing archive picturing New Orleans at the beginning of the century, Sicily Jass tells that incredible story.
