(Banjo). Tenor and plectrum banjos are key ingredients of Dixieland jazz music. The bright percussive chord strums and flashy tremolo picking glissandos help define the genre. In the 1920s; when Dixieland jazz was at its zenith; the four-string banjo was the fretted instrument of choice because it could easily be heard above the simultaneous improv of the bands clarinet; cornet; saxophone; and trombone frontline. (Electric guitars were not invented until a decade later.) The chord voicings in these expertly crafted arrangements were selected so that the melody notes were always within reach to enable the user to play chord/melody style if desired. The lead sheets consist of lyrics and two sets of chord diagrams tenor and plectrum positioned throughout the arrangements. This collection of 45 songs includes: Aint Misbehavin * Alexanders Ragtime Band * Basin Street Blues * Bill Bailey; Wont You Please Come Home * Honeysuckle Rose * I Got Rhythm * Lazy River * St. Louis Blues * Sweet Georgia Brown * Way down Yonder in New Orleans * and more.
