Post Description

Most of this box set documents the many string bands usually containing fiddles, guitars, tenor or six-string banjos, often including basses, jugs, percussion, mandolins, banjo-mandolins, and banjo ukes, and sometimes including a horn or two, that reflected the taste of young Black musicians and dancers. They played music that mixed Blues, Ragtime, Jazz, popular music, and the old string band repertoire and sustained dance rhythms that had come from Africa as well as new jams created by Africans in America.
The great string band tunes here throw light on the old assumption that Black string bands had died out by the 1920s or that the recording industry did not record them because of racism.
Black musical taste developed beyond the old time fiddle banjo repertoire that reached its peak in the 1890s. As the new Century neared, a wave of new music swept from the African American community through the US and beyond. This music included Ragtime, both the formal composed piano ragtime associated with the great piano composers like Joplin, and all sorts of pop music that called itself Ragtime as well as Black folk derived music that had inspired Ragtime and was in turn influenced by pop music Ragtime. This music also included the Blues and many mixtures between Ragtime and the Blues. The new music was also associated with a wave of new dances many of which went from Black rural juke joints to Broadway and Europe.
