The banjo was once part of the rhythm section family during jazz's infancy and developmental phase (Armstrong's, Ellington's, and Jelly Roll Morton's bands all used it). The metal-stringed, wiry-sounding instrument of African invention would be supplanted by the guitar, initially unamplified, then electric. The Trad Jazz Revival of the 1940s helped bring banjoists back to the bandstand and the recording studio; in the Fifties, the Old-Time Music/Ragtime boomlet added to the banjo's upsurge in popularity. The Banjo Kings--Dick Roberts and Red Roundtree--had deep backgrounds in Appalachian music, country, radio, and movies, as well as a bubbly jazz feel, making them an ideal pair for this project. With a repertoire delightfully spotlighting pre-and-early Tin Pan Alley favorites, the Kings (whose accompanists include such esteemed jazz/studio players as pianist Stan Wrightsman and drummer Nick Fatool) strike a crowning blow for well-played, high-spirited sounds.
