"Du-Rag" feat. Anthony Hervey and Sean Mason

Du-Rag
Written By | Anthony Hervey
“Du-Rag” is a contemporary take on the Rag form that blends elements of stride piano, gospel, and blues. Influences of Scott Joplin, James P. Johnson, Louis Armstrong, and Earl Hines resonate throughout, transporting ragtime to the modern day. Sean and I would play duo up in Harlem all the time. A lot of soulful music came out of these Hervey/Mason sessions. We spent hours playing hymns, standards, blues, and everything imaginable and reimagined. This modern-day rag I wrote ended up being one of our favorites. I'm so glad I was able to document this song with my brother and fellow bearer of all things guided by love and soul.

THose trumpet lines feel like they must be so satisfying to play. Great composition, fabulous sound. Hat tip! A fellow (lowlier, amateur) trumpeter.
