Bernies Banjo - RAGS 'N JAZZ

We hope you'll enjoy this new CD "BERNIE'S BANJO - RAGS 'N JAZZ" containing solos, duos and trios . You might be specially interested by the new transcriptions of four ragtimes for plectrum-banjo solo (tracks 5,8,11,and 13 - as played in concert, no overdubbing). Recordings of "Petite Fleur" sung in its original French version are extremely rare too (track 18). To avoid this record to sound monotonous we used alternately three different bass instruments, the tuba, the baritone sax and the bass clarinet.
