Gammon Vic - Early Scottish Ragtime [CD]

Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Many people are familiar with the movement of songs and tunes from Britain to North America, but this project presents American dance tunes that came to Britain as well as some tunes from England and Scotland that in their rhythmic quality seem to pre-figure ragtime music. The unifying theme of this CD is syncopation, the significant characteristic of Ragtime. Ragtime came to public notice in the 1890s in America and, within months, Europe, too, fell under its spell. There were none of today's mass media methods of communicating music yet it spread like wildfire. As shown by Vic Gammon and his friends with the tunes in this collection, syncopation had existed in traditional tunes since at least the eighteenth century which begs the question were Scots playing ragtime years before Scott Joplin had his first piece published? r

rDr Vic Gammon recently retired from being Senior Lecturer in Folk and Traditional Music, but continues to be a guest member of staff at the International Centre for Music Studies at the Newcastle University. He is also a singer, plays concertina, melodeon, tenor banjo and mandolin and has recorded extensively. His 'friends' include Sandra Kerr ('Bagpuss'), noted fiddle player Stewart Hardy, Desi Wilkinson from the Irish band 'Cran' and BBC Folk Award nominee, Dan Walsh.
