Whistler and His Jug Band Heroes of the Blues Trading Tee Card #11 Art by R. Crumb, Text by Stephen Calt The first jug band to record, in 1924, was Whistler and His Jug band, a group hailing from the Louisville, Kentucky, area where, beginning at the turn of the century, jug bands playing string band arrangements entertained during the Kentucky Derby. From 1924 to 1931, Whistler's aggregation recorded twenty-one titles for three different companies. A movie clip of the essentially unknown players exists, a still from which provided the source for this card illustration.

Papa Charlie Jackson Heroes of the Blues Trading Card Tee, Card #25 Art by R. Crumb, Text by Stephen Calt New Orleans musician Papa Charlie Jackson was one of the first self-accompanied blues performers to record. Discovered on the streets of Chicago, he produced over seventy sides between 1924 and 1935, most of them on six-string banjo. Jackson combined sophisticated technique with a driving beat. His dance hit "Shake That Thing" was one of the most influential tunes of the era, and his comedic approach inspired the hokum style of Georgia Tom and Tampa Red.
