This is the second adjective in the name of a Robert Johnson song whose title objects are sold “two for a nickel, four for a dime.” An ensemble with this adjective in its name featured its leader’s second wife Lil Hardin on piano (15[2])and was recorded for Okeh records. It’s not “traditional,” but this adjective is often used as an alternative name for Dixieland jazz. This is the second adjective in the name of a band whose leader wrote the “King Porter (*) Stomp,” (-5[1])claimed to have invented jazz, and was nicknamed after a slang term for genitalia. A box (10[1])set of recordings by an ensemble with this adjective in its name includes “Heebie Jeebies,” one of the first songs to employ scat singing. For 10 points, name this adjective (10[1])that describes Louis Armstrong’s (10[1])“Five”, and alongside (-5[1])red, (10[1]0[3])Jelly Roll Morton’s “Peppers.” ■END■ (10[1])
