And (Cool was used in the 50s.
I found one jazz hand book for you below:

Anyway mabee this will help the younger want to be jazz players talk the jive talk or know what these slang terms
mean.
Really today some of these terms are used in all styles
of music by alot of Pro Musicians.(Plus some new ones)
There have been alot of changes in meeting Musician friends that you know down in Tenn that you havn't seen for awhile i don't know if they do this in other states but down south they give you a hug and kiss you on the cheek.This was a strange feeling when this first happen to me.My friend down south told me this is done all the time among Musician friends down in Nashville.
