{"product_id":"new-orleans-night-owls-st-louis-rag","title":"New Orleans Night Owls- St. Louis Rag (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrummer Hal Smith, long a favorite in traditional jazz circles, organized the New Orleans Night Owls in 2021 to play New Orleans Revival-style traditional jazz. (Think: Bunk Johnson, George Lewis, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.) Smith pulled together top musicians from across the United States: Oregon, California, St. Louis, and - of course - New Orleans, and the band played to great acclaim at the Bix Beiderbecke Jazz Festival (Davenport, Iowa) and the San Diego Jazz Fest in 2022. For their debut Rivermont recording, the Night Owls play jazz arrangements of classic rags and ragtime-era songs with plenty of heat and authentic New Orleans flavor. TJ Müller shines on cornet and vocals while pianist Kris Tokarski seasons the ensemble with echoes of Jelly Roll Morton. Charlie Halloran's robust trombone and Ryan Calloway's colorful clarinet combine with the solid rhythmic drive of Bill Reinhart's banjo, Michael Gamble's thumping bass, and Hal Smith's musical drumming to round out this exciting and distinctive group. Fans of the venerable St. Louis Ragtimers will be pleased to hear cornetist Bill Mason guest on several tracks, providing a living link to the height of the New Orleans jazz revival of the 1940s and 1950s. 17 tracks. 64 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSapho Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhistling Rufus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFig Leaf Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Oceana Roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrace and Beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt a Georgia Camp Meeting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensation - a Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun Flower Slow Drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMister Johnson, Turn Me Loose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDusty Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSt. Louis Tickle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePine Apple Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCataract Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKerry Mills' Ragtime Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Minstrel Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple Leaf Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSt. Louis Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 620953682926\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Rivermont\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46982471516381,"sku":"620953682926","price":21.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4343496-3185932.jpg?v=1762923520","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/new-orleans-night-owls-st-louis-rag","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
