How was Chicago Dixieland music different from New Orleans Dixieland?

Answer:
In short, New Orleans style is exclusively played with a two-beat rhythm, and usually incorporates what's called "collective improvisation" (when an entire section, usually woodwinds, adds there own improvised touch to the original song).

Also, Chicago style often adds in components of ragtime.

That's it in a nutshell...
