==Beginnings of revival== {{Unreferenced section|date=January 2020}} A Dixieland revival began in the United States on the West Coast in the late 1930s as a backlash to the [[Chicago]] style, which was close to [[Swing (genre)|swing]]. [[Lu Watters]] and the [[Yerba Buena Jazz Band]], and trombonist [[Turk Murphy]], adopted the repertoire of [[Joe "King" Oliver]], [[Jelly Roll Morton]], [[Louis Armstrong]] and [[W. C. Handy]]: bands included banjo and tuba in the rhythm sections. A [[New Orleans]]βbased traditional revival began with the later recordings of [[Jelly-Roll Morton]] and the rediscovery of [[Bunk Johnson]] in 1942. This revival ultimately led to the founding of [[Preservation Hall]] in the French Quarter of New Orleans during the 1960s. Early [[King Oliver]] pieces exemplify this style of hot jazz; however, as individual performers began stepping to the front as soloists, a new form of music emerged. One of the ensemble players in King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, [[Louis Armstrong]], was by far the most influential of the soloists, creating, in his wake, a demand for this "new" style of jazz, in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Other influential stylists who are still revered in traditional jazz circles today include [[Sidney Bechet]], [[Bix Beiderbecke]], [[Wingy Manone]] and [[Muggsy Spanier]]. Many artists of the [[big band]] era, including [[Glenn Miller]], [[Gene Krupa]] and [[Benny Goodman]], had their beginnings in trad jazz.
