Wheres the Tiger?
9/26/2012 10:28:41 AMThis piano solo transcription of the Dixieland Jazz bands version of the Tiger Rag gets lower marks for a simple reason: the strain that repeats the phrase "Hold that Tiger," and works as the refrain, is missing! I have played a Dixieland Jazz Band version of this tune with a local band, and that strain was there in all its repetitive glory; I miss it here in this version, which otherwise is a fine little rag time piece in and of itself. Whoever arranged this definitely (with)held the tiger.
