Oof. My dad has a few Al "Jazzbo" Collins 78s that he played for me when I was a kid, and I remember them as being hilarious, but no idea if they hold up. That's some seriously fucked-up shit about his tv show, though.

apparently, it was once thought by some that the genre's appellation descended from a musician named "jazzbo"
that's according to this site, anyway

the word "jazz" comes from "jasm", which meant semen but also was used to denote vitality and energy. this according to an art history professor from college.

All this jazzbo talk, I was about to make a witty remark about the Hasbro toy company.
But wait. Remember when "bro" was more of an African American reference, soul brother 70s street "jive" talk, etc?
Now it's more about frat boys and white people who surprise each other with bottles of Smirnoff Ice. Hasbro indeed.

Most of the music's innovators -- Ellington, Miles, Mingus, Monk, many others -- hated the term "jazz," which they (rightly) saw as limiting and demeaning at best.

When asked about the origin of their band name, frontman Ross Farbe explained, “I was thinking about the heritage of the music I wanted to create, and how rock and roll originated in America. It’s a joining of cultures and influences that could only happen in our young, strange country.”

“People are scared to love the Beatles,” says Ross Farbe, vocalist and guitarist of New Orleans dream-pop, rock ‘n’ roll band Native America. “Along with that, the Beach Boys. Another band that everyone’s afraid to like. We adore them.”
