This is the second volume of the Paragon Ragtime<br />
Orchestra’s series of recordings paying tribute to the<br />
pioneering African-American composers of late<br />
nineteenth and early twentieth century New York City.<br />
The initial inspiration behind this effort was James<br />
Weldon Johnson’s fascinating 1930 history book Black<br />
Manhattan, which described the evolution of New York’s<br />
black music and theater communities from the 1890s<br />
through the 1920s. Through its pages, Johnson (1871–<br />
1938) brought to life an amazing group of<br />
achievers - musicians, writers, stage performers, and<br />
businessmen - whose work profoundly transformed the<br />
cultural life of this nation.<br />
Black Manhattan Vol. 1 centered on music composed by<br />
members of the legendary Clef Club. The present<br />
volume ranges a bit more widely, offering music from<br />
the theater, ballroom, and recital stage. All of the<br />
selections heard here are performed from original<br />
orchestrations using antique instruments; most have<br />
never before been recorded.<br />
The CD has already generated a lot of positive review<br />
attention and will shortly be reviewed in Gramophone<br />
Magazine to accompany this release.<br />
