The Ragtime Dance (Scott Joplin) -- Raspberry Jam Band

"Ragtime with whimsy" is how the Raspberry Jam Band defines itself, and some whimsy is to be heard in this performance of Scott Joplin's "Rag-Time Dance".

This arrangement is based on the instrumental version of the tune published in 1906, where the first two strains have been omitted and an interlude has been put into a new key and used as the introduction.

The Raspberries here are:

Tom Brier; piano
Julia Riley; flute & piccolo
Mary Preston; violin, claves & slide whistle
George Preston, euphonium
Mark Meeker, tuba
Kitty Wilson, washboard

Recorded August 2008 in Los Altos, California.

I'm sure Scott Joplin would have approved enormously......I use the New England Ragtime Ensemble and Joshua Rifkin as yardsticks and this is a worthy addition to the exponents of this work......
