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, also used alto saxophone, trombone, piano, and even the famous Johnny Dodds on clarinet. This wide variety of instrumentation caused the jug band to become the most sophisticated of its time and influenced many other jug bands of the time such as the Memphis Jug Band. Read more on Last.fm
