http://www.artistopia.com/hessionsession Jim discusses different varieties of blues clusters as applied to melody lines made up of simple octaves or chords. Examples include James P. Johnson and Fats Waller.
The last strain of Scott Joplin's Wall Street Rag has clusters of this sort - This is the earliest usage I have seen. I hadn't thought of it as you have so well described. Thanks for enhancing my musical and conceptual vocabulary!
A wealth of information. My gratitude.

Thank you for the videos. I think this series is a big asset for many people interested in early jazz and stride piano.
