J.J.J.Rag..1905..Joe Jordan aka Joseph Zachariah Taylor Jordan.

[Steve Harrison]

This is another tune that was recorded by the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra (MP3 attached). Jordan was one of the lesser regarded ragtime composers but nevertheless, he had a long and productive career and composed a large body of music. This is a pleasant, medium paced rag that works well on banjo. In the original score, the melody notes in the second part are carried as the bottom notes of the chords which were tricky to play on the banjo and didn't sound right, consequently, I've reversed the chords and placed the melody notes at the top of the chords.  The score and midi are in the library...Steve.
