It's not New Orleans, but
It's not New Orleans, but while he was based out of this city, Jelly Roll Morton made a landmark mixed-race recording in 1925 with Gennett Records. The Original Dixieland Jazz Band was actually formed in this city, where the New Orleans Rhythm Kings moved in the 1920s. In the 1950s in this city, Chess Records organized recordings of classics of its jazz scene such as "Hoochie Coochie Man." The Blues Festival held in this city pays tribute to the man considered the father of this city's blues style, Muddy Waters. While he was employed by gangsters, Earl Hines met (*) Louis Armstrong at this city's Black Musicians Union. The line "They have the time, the time of their life / I saw a man, he danced with his wife" appears in a song which declares this city "that toddling town" and "my hometown;" that song was famously recorded by Frank Sinatra. For 10 points, name this city where a jazz festival is held in Millennium Park.
