About

This week on Three Tune Tuesday, we slip on banana peels and land squarely in the middle of a jazz-fueled circus. From barking blues to piano-pounding hijinks, these three tunes capture the wonderfully unhinged spirit of early jazz and novelty records that laughed their way through the phonograph horn.

You’ll hear:

• A musical riot from the Six Brown Brothers, where Aunt Dinah’s daughter Hannah unleashes absolute piano pandemonium.
• A howlin’, growlin’ romp courtesy of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band in “Bow Wow Blues.”
• And the clarinet chaos of Wilbur Sweatman, who gleefully sidesteps the doggone blues with a grin and a toot.

So take off your serious face and put on your dancing shoes—this one’s for the jesters, the jazzers, and anyone who’s ever tapped their toe to a barking saxophone.
