"Tuba Tiger Rag" -The Stony Brook Wind Ensemble

Lyrics by Harry DeCosta, with music from the Original Dixieland Band, arranged by Luther Henderson
The Tiger Rag is a classic example of Ragtime, an American musical genre with its roots as dance music in New Orleans and St Louis in the late 1800s. Ragtime (or Ragged-time as it is sometimes written) is characterized by syncopation: notes are emphasized that either anticipate or follow the beat. The effect is to cause the listener to move to the music. Scott Joplin, the king of Ragtime, called this effect weird and intoxicating; he advised performers of Ragtime music to play slowly until you catch the swing The name Swing stuck to an early form of Jazz that developed out of the Ragtime style, popularized by the big bands of the 1930s and 40s.
The Tiger Rag is said to have been written by the inventor of Jazz, Jelly Roll Morton. It was recorded in 1918 and was immensely popular. Many groups have performed versions of the tune, including Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman, Harry James, and Les Paul. Composer/arranger Luther Henderson arranged the piece for the Canadian Brass, calling it the Tuba Tiger Rag.
