 The "Grand Larousse Dictionnaire de la Langue Française" and the "Über englisches Sprachgut im Französischen" cite a 1908 use of "jazband", a jazz orchestra, in the Paris newspaper "Le Matin".This is a typographical error for 1918.In an 1831 letter, Lord Palmerston wrote in reference to Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, of "old Talley jazzing and telling stories to Lieven and Esterhazy and Wessenberg."
