House Rent Rag - Johnny Dodds and the Dixieland Jug Blowers. 1926
Even though today some 6 tracks of Johnny Dodds and the Jug Blowers are available on CD, this track is probably the most obscure one, but also one of the swingiest.

The Dixieland Jug Blowers were a popular American musical group of the 1920s. While being a Jug band, the group is often classified as a Jazz band due to its set up which while including regular Jug band instruments such as Jug, Banjo, Guitar and violin, it also used alto saxophone, trombone, piano and even the famous Johnny Dodds on clarinet. This wide variety of instrumentation caused the Dixieland Jug Blowers to become the most sophisticated of its time and influenced many other Jug bands of the time.
