[Dixielandjazz] Horn Parts and Rags

[Hal Vickery]

Earl Hines's big band also made a recording of Maple Leaf Rag.  

Max Morath made a recording of his one-man Broadway show, Max Morath at the
Turn of the Century that was released by RCA Victor, probably back in the
'60s.  He plays with a small orchestra, and Maple Leaf Rag is one of the
selections.

I also found in my archive, a Tommy Dorsey recording of Maple Leaf  
that is insanely fast. I clocked it on my metronome at 270 bpm!  (no  
chance to swing at that tempo and the natural syncopations lose their  
charm)  Why did they do it that fast? My guess is, just to prove they  
could.
Cheers,
John
