"Livery Stable Blues", 1917 sheet music cover. Credited to early New Orleans jazz musicians Alcide Nunez and Ray Lopez. The tune was recorded by the Original Dixieland Jass Band; this is generally considered the first jazz recording.

The cover art displays unfortunate minstrel show racial stereotyping. The artwork is by Grim Natwick, later to become a well known animated cartoonist for Fleischer Studios and Walt Disney Studios.
