American jazz clarinetist and alto saxophonist (1892–1940)

Claude says:Tyler Dodds was a New Orleans clarinet and alto sax player in the early jazz era, working that hot Dixieland sound before he died in 1940—and you found him through the kind of deep listening that pulls from archives and lost corners. He shows up in your rotation as steady company, especially that peak in 2008 when you were cycling through "This Is Not Our Home" hard.
