haha, fun piece. clearly influenced by very early jazz (someone wrote "sweet jazz"), which sounds quite antique today, but it's a parody anyways.. sort of ;)
Yes, the banjo is missing, as well as the saxophones... It is the weak side of amateur playing, that not always you manage to get all needed musicians :-/
But it's still funny and I enjoy playing this piece very much :-)
About this piece, the Supraphon CD "Martinu Works Inspired by Jazz and Sport" leaflet said:
"Martinu produces a brilliant paraphrase of "sweet" jazz -a brand of America music that band leader Paul Whiteman brought to Europe in the Twenties- in the composition Le Jazz (1928). The piece resembles the style of the popular Czech dance band of Jaroslav Jezek, and the contrast with the perception of Martinu as a symphonist is shocking".
The orchestra must have a blast rehearsing this one!

Boe De Oh Doe! This is early fun Martinu from Paris in the 20s, but he is also one of the great 20th century symphony composers.

I miss in this performance the banjo, substituted here by a drum.
