[Dixielandjazz] the "trio" in Ragtime ?

[Zerxpress at aol.com]

Dear Listmates,
I'm reading Rudi Blesh's tremendous THEY ALL PLAYED RAGTIME
and what a great book, whew.   Who was his co-author Harriet  Janis?
 
I've got Terry Waldo's book, as well as a couple by Edward Berlin, and  the
Schafer & Riedel,  and Jasen & Tichenor books, 
to go through next.
 
BUT,  my question to you is:  what is meant when  they refer to the "trio" 
section of a ragtime composition?
 
Regards,
Mark Weber
