Gig?? a linguistic query

Author: Alseg

Ok so this is no biggie, but does anyone know the origin of the word "GIG"
as in "I gotta gig tonite" or "This gig requires both an A and Bb and even an Eb horn."
I know it has been around for a long time in jazz circles, but it is now used to refer to symphony jobs etc.
