The World's Greatest Jazz Band was an all-star jazz ensemble active from 1968 to 1978.[1]

Dick Gibson founded the group at his sixth Jazz Party, an annual event.[1] The group performed mostly Dixieland jazz and recorded extensively.[1] It was co-led by Yank Lawson and Bob Haggart,[1] and did early jazz standards alongside contemporaneous pop songs done in a Dixieland style.[2] Though the group disbanded in 1978, the name was revived several times by Lawson and Haggart for limited engagements.
