Trad jazz which is shorthand for "traditional jazz" (although that term is never actually used) may either refer to a music genre popular in Britain and Australia from the 1940s onward through the 1950s, or to the American "hot jazz" of the 1920s and early 1930s, which developed from the New Orleans and Ragtime styles of music. The British and Australian bands of this genre copied the playing style of such artists as Sidney Bechet or King Oliver, while the American genre is more properly exemplified by artists such as Red Nichols and Louis Armstrong. .
