Submitted by Rob Wright August 21, 2007 LeRoy Larson - "Ragtime Banjo" CD
Most of these recordings were made in the 1970's during the
"Ragtime" revival era when the movie
The Sting was very popular. However Larson and Lowell
Schreyer began research for this project in the 1960s. Two
additional rags were recorded in 1989. This compilation of
classic rags, performed on the banjo, is a fun album of music.
Eight different musician are credited with performing with
Larson including Schreyer on the "Classic" 5-string banjo.

Submitted by Dave Marty August 15, 2007 Cynthia Sayer CD - "Attractions"
Every new recording by Cynthia gets better and better. This time not only does she have a great line-up of great musicians but she has included two of my favorites - Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar and Joe Ascione on percussion. The other musicians are: Scott Robinson (reeds), Randy Sandke (Trumpet), Jim Fryer (Trombone), Sara Caswell (Violin) and Greg Cohen (String Bass). There's a great collection of songs and two are original's by Cynthia - "Banjo Tango" and "The Gift." Everything about they way these songs are original including the stylized version of "You Are My Sunshine" This CD is highly recommended. Available soon at the Jazz Banjo Store Listen to "Attractions" on Jazz Banjo Radio More information about Cynthia Sayer can be found at Link. Submitted by john Mumford July 11, 2007 Dave Marty
