The State Street Ramblers were not a group, but a series of recording sessions led by pianist Jimmy Blythe. The personnel varied over the years, but many of Chicago's best South Side musicians participated in the sessions, including Baby and Johnny Dodds, Natty Dominque, and Bill Johnson. All of the sides were recorded at the Gennett studio in Richmond, Indiana. These records were released under a variety of pseudonyms. On the Champion label they were called the Chicago Stompers, Blythe's Blue Boys and the Down Home Serenaders. On Paramount they were called the Johnny Dodds Four. On Decca they were the Blue Jay Boys. On Superior they were called Speed Jeffries and his Night Owls.
