Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue (preferably original version, not the orchestral version) (1924)
Just FYI -- in case you've never heard the original version, with the Paul Whiteman band and Gershwin at the Piano, you can listen to it here:

There is also a version recorded in 1927 using electrical recording equipment, with much improved sound quality ("much improved" being a relative term, of course -- we're still talking about 1927, after all):

Okay, as you were. Keep 'em coming!

Here are a few:
Bartok: The Miraculous Mandarin (1926); 4th Quartet (1928)
Stravinsky: Symphonies of Wind Instruments (1920); Octet for Winds (1923); (stretch it to 1930 and we'll through in the Symphony of Psalms!)
, An American in Paris (1928)
Louis Armstrong: Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings of 1925-28

Just taking a little straw poll here: what do listers consider the best pieces of music to come out of the 1920's? Genre is unimportant -- go ahead and nominate Tin Pan Alley songs and Jelly Roll Morton pieces alongside serial works, if you like.
