The concept of traditional jazz first emerged in the 1930s as jazz writers attempted to distinguish the New Orleans jazz which dated back to the turn of the century from the music of the swing era that followed on its heels. In the 1940s there was a major revival of New Orleans jazz, and the music of Joe "King" Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton, as well as surviving pioneers like Bunk Johnson, was recorded and celebrated by more contemporary artists such as Lu Watters and Turk Murphy. The term "Dixieland" was used to describe the many groups of white musicians revisiting traditional jazz, as well as the recordings of some Chicago-based traditionalists of the 1920s and 1930s, such as Eddie Condon and Bud Freeman. Today, the phrase "traditional jazz" is also employed to describe such early and influential styles as ragtime, boogie woogie, and Harlem stride piano, all of which made important contributions to the evolution of jazz.
