Rick Benjamin's Paragon Ragtime Orchestra

[Return to List of Recordings]

MORE CANDY

MORE CANDY is the PRO's celebration of some of the biggest hits from the early years of American pop music. Included are great rags, two steps, marches, one steps, foxtrots, and novelties, performed from the original orchestrations (i.e. orchestra sheet music) using antique instruments and playing techniques. The disc features 26 numbers (68 minutes), including a several world premier recordings: the original version of George Gershwin's "Swanee" (1919), and Jelly Roll Morton's own 1915 "Jelly Roll Blues" (reputedly the first-ever jazz orchestration), among others. MORE CANDY was recorded in high-definition digital audio in historic Mechanic's Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts; the sound is truly spectacular. This is without doubt one of the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra's best recordings, and an attractive refuge for your rock- and rap-weary ears!
