Many of these songs have forms that are unusual to modern jazz players -- today, tunes are usually 12 bar blues and 32 bar song froms. Older pieces like "Tiger Rag" are structured in a different way, with multiple themes and forms that are similiar to marches or minuets -- the early music also had a simpler harmonic language. On this CD, a seasoned and professional rhythm section helps you absorb the traditional style with ease. Also includes a track of tuning notes at the end of the CD.
