As aspiring fingerpicking guitarists started expanding their horizons from folk, blues, and ragtime in the 1970s, it was only logical to look towards early jazz tunes as a vast source for new possibilities. For one thing, they could follow the same evolutionary path from ragtime to jazz that had been taken by pianists such as Jelly Roll Morton and Harlem stride players like James P. Johnson and Fats Waller. These musicians all composed in a variety of styles, but their most ambitious piano solos expanded on the classic ragtime format developed by the likes of Scott Joplin, James Scott, and Joseph Lamb, using several strains that usually changed keys at least once. Morton, the self-proclaimed inventor of jazz, would record versions of tunes like King Porter Stomp and The Original Jelly Roll Blues that are similar to straight ragtime performances, and others where there is lots of room left for embellishment and jazz improvisation.

The present collection is a bonanza for guitarists who want to tackle advanced arrangements along the lines of ragtime but featuring jazz age harmonies from the playing of Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke, WC Handy, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band and other early jazz legends. The 32 arrangements included are by a wide assortment of guitarists including Ernie Hawkins, Pat Donohue, Lasse Johansson, Duck Baker, Ton Van Bergeyk, Sandy Shalk, Steve McWilliam, and Dorian Henry.

Titles include: Oh, You Beautiful Doll, I’ve Got The Blues, High Society, St. Louis Blues, Davenport Blues, Poor Butterfly, Dixie Jass Band One-Step, Memphis Blues, Big Foot Ham, Grandpa’s Spells, The Original Jelly Roll Blues, Midnight Mama, Milenberg Joys, Fizz Water, Back Home in Indiana, Sweet Georgia Brown, Red Wing (An Indian Intermezzo), There’ll Be Some Changes Made, Way Down Yonder In New Orleans, Charleston, Where The Morning Glories Grow, Limehouse Blues, Susie (of the Islands), I Need Some Pettin’, Weather Bird, Cornet Chop Suey, Kansas City Stomps, King Porter Stomp, Jubilee Stomp, Take It Easy, If I Had You, Moonlight Serenade

De swing-klassieker Sing, Sing, Sing werd in 1937 een grote hit voor het Benny Goodman Orchestra. Het nummer is geschreven door Louis Prima, de trompettist van dit orkest. Dit arrangement van Naohiro Iwai laat het onvergetelijkegeluid van de bigbands van de jaren dertig herleven.

Den Swing-Klassiker Sing, Sing, Sing, ein großer Hit für das Benny Goodman-Orchester im Jahr 1937, hatte sein Trompeter Louis Prima geschrieben. Prima, geboren in New Orleans, wurde später nicht nur bekannt für seine Aufsehen erregenden Bühnen- und Radiovorstellungen, er schuf auch seinen ganz eigenen Jazzstil, eine Mischung aus Dixieland und Swing. Naohiro Iwais Arrangement des Jazzstandards Sing, Sing, Sing macht den unverwechselbaren Big Band-Sound der 30er-Jahre wieder lebendig.

Artiste plein d’humour et de fantaisie, trompettiste et chanteur, Louis Prima (1910-1978) s'inscrit dans la grande tradition de la musique américaine, entre jazz et variété. Louis Prima, c’est le dixieland, le swing, le R&B et l'inventeur des shows de Las Vegas. Le monde entier a fredonné ses chansons telles que Just a Gigolo, mais son plus grand succès date des années 30 lorsque Benny Goodman enregistre Sing, Sing, Sing, le standard qui va propulser Louis Prima au sommet de son art.

Introduce your band and audiences to a little 2-beat and some jazz history with this easy to prepare arrangement of this great jazz standard. Originally a ragtime piano piece, That's-A-Plenty is most commonly associated with Dixieland music. This arrangement now makes it available to jazz bands at the medium-easy level. There's lots of fun for all the sections, including some smeared notes for the bones and some short solis for the saxes. The drummer gets some tom-tom work a la Gene Krupa, and while there are no improvised solos, one (or all) of the trumpets gets to do a written out call and response solo back and forth with the rest of the band. This one is a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
