[Eddy2730]

What a way to bring 'Maple Leaf Rag' up to date! (as of the '20s, of course).

Shame the record companies didn't get down to New Orleans more often. So much talent from that city.

[BobE1945]

As the great Jelly Roll Morton said, Jazz is a style, not a composition. This song is proof.

[Squarerig]

I must confess;I am being spoilt-not for choice,however-by all these wonderful JAZZ postings.I am spending far too much time in front of my PC-my house is falling apart but,who cares?JAZZ is on!Thanks.

Gmmix, What a wonderful bright version of Maple Leaf Rag, I love it! YF, J.

[gmmix]

Hi, J...I thought so,too. Except for the piano, it could almost pass for an early electric.

[KawhackitaRag]

@gmmix what do you mean? It's Elmer Schoebel (I think) on piano, who was a great jazz musician, composer and arranger!

[gmmix]

@KawhackitaRag What I meant was that the piano didn't record well with the pre-electric process; much of the bass was lost.

[KawhackitaRag]

@gmmix oh OK I agree with you!
