Taken: Circa 1926
Caption: The Dixieland Jug Blowers
Additional Description: This is considered the most influential band that Earl McDonald (with jug) was involved in. It was created in 1926 when Victor Records combined two bands, led by McDonald and fiddler Clifford Hayes, for a recording session in Chicago. The ensemble fused traditional jug band music (using jugs, banjos, guitars and fiddles) with jazz elements (alto saxophone, clarinet, piano and trombone).
