Boyd Senter, the 1920s clarinet wizard nicknamed "Jazzologist Supreme," brought slapstick energy to the jazz age with his hot, humorous style. This Arkansas-born showman led groups like the Senterpedes and Chicago Six, pumping out novelty gems like *Original Chinese Blues* and *Yes Sir and How* that mixed technical chops with vaudeville flair. His recordings from 1928-1930 (later compiled on releases like *Jazzologist Supreme*) capture the era's playful spirit through growling clarinet licks and tongue-in-cheek titles like *Mobile Blues* and *Hobo's Prayer*. While not a household name, Senter's quirky jazz time capsules remain catnip for vintage music collectors who dig his brand of "hot" mischief.
