The Dixieland Jug Band was originally formed through the commingling of two seperate groups run by banjoist Earl MacDonald and fiddler Clifford Hayes. They were brought together in 1926 in for a Victor Records recording session in Chicago and again later in 1927 Earl MacDonald had been a musician for almost 30 years and so favoured the earlier traditional and Minstrel tunes. Clifford Hayes on the other hand favoured a more straight ahead Jazz styled approach, eventually dispensing with the jug altogether. The two would only work together in the studio due to Hayes' financial shenanigans, in which he would lie to fellow bandmates about the takings and would pocket more then his fair share. |
