Description
Elmer Snowden Quartet Harlem Banjo!
Label: Riverside Records Released: 1960 Format : Mp3@320  Elmer Snowden contributed greatly to jazz in its earlier days as both a player and a bandleader, and is responsible for launching the careers of many top musicians. However, Snowden himself has been largely overlooked in jazz history. Elmer Snowden was one of the leading jazz banjoists of his day. "Harlem Banjo" featuring the Elmer Snowden Quartet on Riverside Records (RLP 9348, 1960) exemplifies his hot, swingy style. On this album Elmer played tenor banjo tuned a fifth lower, with a low G on his bottom string, like a mandolin. This might be due to the initial influence of a mandolin-playing friend, whose father got Elmer started on guitar at age 9. Tracklist : 01.
