"Down Home Rag" (Wilbur Sweatman) Eddy Davis Banjo

"The Manhattan Minstrel" Eddy Davis playing a tune written in 1911 by a very early "Black Jass Entertainer" -- Wilbur Sweatman. Wilbur is a very big figure in the world of Jazz. On July 14,1989 at 8pm, at the time of the FIGA Convention, I and many of NYC's Jazz and Classical musicians were put together by the wonderful Conductor Maurice Peress to recreate the original James Reese Europe's "Clef Club Concert" from May 2, 1912. The original concert was at the Famous "Casino" in Central Park. Our Concert was at Carnegie Hall. I was hired to perform and put together the Fretted String Orchestra within the larger full Symphony Orchestra. I performed with a recreation of the original "Versatile Entertainer's Quartet". It was the best paid group at the turn of the Nineteen Hundreds. One of the things we performed was this Rag. Members of the group were: Frank Owens - Piano, Chuck Spies - Field Drum, Martin Aubert - Tenor Banjo and yours truly (Me) on Tenor Banjo. Davis is playing his 12" head 17 fret custom OME Tenor Banjo.
