Memphis Blues - Dutch Swing College Band 1970

In a TV program celebrating 25 years of DSC the band plays WC. Handy's Memphis Blues. This copy of the recording survived where the original master got lost all together. In the band are leader Peter Schilperoort on bariton sax and also soloing on soprano sax, Bert de Kort cornet, Dick Kaart trombone, Bob Kaper clarinet, Arie Ligthart banjo, Chris Smilddiger bass and Huub Janssen drums.

Today, some 37 years later the band is still going strong now under the leadership of Bob Kaper. Also cornettist Bert de Kort rejoined the band in the late nineties.

According to what I read about banjos, the ringing tone has much to do with the piece of the banjo called the tone ring. "For that reason, flat top tone rings provide a more appealing tone. Arch top tone rings touch the head the most and therefore produce a flatter, less brilliant tone. The advantage of an arch top tone ring is greater projection. Most tone rings are made of brass due to its ringing qualities." (You may already know all this.)

True, but I also think it has to do with Arie Ligthart's banjo style. He din't just play four-to-the-bar, as many (most?) banjo players do, and he also had a open, ringing tone in his instrument. I've always been fascinated by his banjo playing.

Kudos to their sound man. I can hear every instrument clearly, including the banjo. That's not always the case in trad recordings.
