Music from the Mauve Decades

by Keith Ingham

Overview

1900-1920 were considered "the Mauve Decades," so on this Sackville CD, pianist Keith Ingham (in a trio with clarinetist Bobby Gordon and drummer Hal Smith) performs 17 songs written during that period. Although one might think that the music would be ragtime-oriented, in reality many of the songs retained their popularity into the '20s and beyond, including "Glow Worm," "Ida," "My Gal Sal," "Some of These Days," and "Love Nest." The interpretations, which are a little reminiscent of the Benny Goodman Trio, fall into the mainstream jazz category, between swing and Dixieland. Everyone plays up to par, making this a good acquisition for pre-bop collectors. ~ Scott Yanow
