jug band
[English]
A folk music ensemble that uses a stoneware (or glass) jug as the bass & rhythm instrument along with a mixture of traditional and improvised instruments. The jug band would normally have the jug and some form of guitar or mandolin. There would often be rhythm instruments such as spoons or washboard, a home-made kazoo, a Jew's harp, and possibly a washtub bass.
