HISTORY
2017 will mark a century from
the recording of what is histori-
cally considered the first Jazz re-
cord, but very few know that it
was recorded by Nick La Rocca,
a Sicilian emigrant to New Or-
leans. It sold a million and half
copies! Featuring interviews to
American music critics, histo-
rians and archivists, as well as
amazing archive picturing New
Orleans at the beginning of the
century, Sicily Jass tells that in-
credible story.

SICILY JASS – The world’s first man in Jazz
A fascinating journey into faith.
From Catholicism, Protestan-
tism, Islam, Eastern Orthodox
Church, Mormonism, Judaism,
Hinduism, Buddhism, Shintoi-
sm, Taoism, Confucianism, we
travel to the four corners of the
Earth (India, China, Japan, Ger-
many, USA, etc.) in which the
faithful, men and women, pa-
stors, monks and spiritual lea-
ders in general lead us to disco-
very the real roots of their faith.
