PEACHERINE RAGTIME ORCHESTRA Andrew Greene, director That Teasin' Rag: Vintage American Arrangements from the Ragtime Era Rivermont BSW-2215 The Peacherine Ragtime Orchestra is one of the nation's premiere ensembles specializing in popular music from before the era of talking films and jazz. Under the direction of Andrew Greene, the orchestra uses original scores and antique instruments to perform theater, dance, and concert selections from the 1880s through the 1920s. On this, the Peacherine Ragtime Orchestra's first recording, listeners are treated to a sampling of classic rags, marches, cakewalks, waltzes, one-steps, and a previously unrecorded 1914 grand concert arrangement of Stephen Foster tunes -- all played with skill and vitality. The CD contains a 20-page booklet with photos and detailed notes on each of the selections by Mr. Greene. 63 minutes.
