Description

Tenor and plectrum banjos are key ingredients of Dixieland jazz music. The bright percussive chord strums and flashy tremolo picking help define the genre. The chord voicings in these expertly crafted arrangements were selected so the melody notes are always within reach, enabling the musician to play chord/melody style if desired. The lead sheets consist of lyrics and two sets of chord diagrams – tenor and plectrum – positioned throughout the arrangements. 45 songs: “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” “Basin Street Blues,” “Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “I Got Rhythm,” “Lazy River,” “St. Louis Blues,” “Sweet Georgia Brown,” “‘Way down Yonder in New Orleans,” more. 120 pp.
