FROM RAGTIME TO ROCK & ROLL
2000, CD
- Silver Honor Parents Choice Award, 2000
Listen to "Matilda/Iko, Iko/Not Fade Away"
Download | Stream
American popular music is a rich and exciting melting pot of many cultures. When I first started doing my program for elementary school age children, "From Ragtime to Rock & Roll", my idea was to introduce kids to some types of music they might not be familiar with: folk, old time, blues and jazz. I also wanted to show kids how the rock & roll and country music they listen to today is rooted in the European melodies and African rhythms of our country's ancestry.
This recording covers music common among American people from 1750 to 1950; from the African slave ships and European immigration to the Civil War to the Great Depression to the birth of rock & roll. I have also included songs from There's a Rhythm to it All, a program I created with my husband, chiropractor-percussionist Dr. Joe Dockery, which explores music and rhythm in the world around us and in our bodies.
Produced by Barbara Martin
Engineered, mixed and mastered by Mac Walter for Mac Walter Productions
