DIXIERAG

Vintage All-American Music: Dixieland and Ragtime

The effervescent spirit of Dixieland and Ragtime music works its magic in an array of classic tunes from the early part of this century. DixieRag revels in vivacious renditions of works by luminaries such as Scott Joplin, King Oliver, Fats Waller and Jelly Roll Morton.

Audiences of all ages have enthusiatically acclaimed their performances in venues such as Emory University's Arts and Sciences Graduate School commencements, Tuesday's Music Live Concert Series (Augusta, Georgia), and the Conyers/Rockdale Concert Series (Conyers, Georgia).

DixieRag's seasoned musicians nimbly weave "elite syncopations" together on piano, clarinet, trumpet, trombone and tuba, polyphonically "puttin' on the Ritz!"
