A Collection of Cakewalks, Rags, Slow Drags, and Foxtrots from the Gilded Age. Par . The popularity of the mandolin in the United States between 1885-1915 led to the formation of many regional mandolin orchestras and mandolin clubs across the country, particularly in the urban areas of the Northeast and Midwest, but also as far west as San Francisco and as far south as New Orleans, e.g., the Tulane University Mandolin Club. In fact, Scott Joplin dedicated one of his early rags, The Entertainer, to his local mandolin club in Sedalia, Missouri, i.e., to Mr. James Brown and his mandolin club.

Examine the development of country mandolin performance during the 1930s with this book by Joseph Weidlich. During that decade the mandolin became a featured solo instrument requiring players to quickly develop a new style of playing in order to give vocalists a break from singing particularly in the popular brother act format. As the decade progressed numerous idiomatic techniques were tested discarded and refined leading to instrumental solos that were eventually based more on playing over chord changes than on the actual melody itself. The techniques outlined here based on period recoridngs clearly establish the roots of that new solo approach which blossomed in thelooser ensemble format of early 1940s bluegrass music.
