The word Jazz has its origins in the Creole brothels (Jas houses) of New Orleans in the late 19th century.
Working girls were called jezebels or jesebels, shortened to "jes" or "jez". The pronunciation was closer to "Jas", hence the term "Jas house" for brothel. Music was provided for the clients, and this music became known as "Jas music", sometimes called "Jass music".
A popular explanation for the difference in spelling is that when the word "Jass" was featured in flyers and posters, the letter "J" was often crossed out, leaving "ass" in its place. Promoters felt that "ass music" was a bit inappropriate, so the spelling was changed from "Jass" to "Jazz", hence "Jazz music".

The name Jazz, often refers to a guy with great musical knowledge but is no wheres near ordinary. A short sexy guy usually has facial hair but not much on top. Good in bed but hard to keep. Likes to party and be very social. Thinks too much of what other think although, doesn't let that bring them down. Never sticks to females in his age group but will definitely marry a younger woman. Afraid of commitment but doesn't like being alone. Works a lot and has nice toys.
