Progressive Bluegrass and Other Instrumentals - Vol. 1

Our Price: $15.50

Known as "The Father of East Coast Bluegrass," Roger Sprung was born in Manhattan in 1930. The variety of music he encountered in New York informs his banjo playing as he incorporates jazz, old time dance tunes, and the syncopations of Civil War-era fingerpicking. Doc Watson accompanies him on this album.

Released: 1963

Progressive Ragtime Bluegrass - Vol. 2

Our Price: $15.50

This second album from Roger Sprung stretches the boundary of the bluegrass style and repertoire even farther with its selection of rags, fiddle tunes, and even the Greek melody "Misirlou" and an instrumental version of "Puff the Magic Dragon." On this recording, Sprung's band includes Jody Stecher on mandolin and Gene Lowinger on fiddle.

Progressive Bluegrass, Vol. 3

Our Price: $15.50

Of banjo innovator Roger Sprung, Alan Lomax wrote, "Bluegrass emerged fifty years after New Orleans' hot music as mountaineers' answer to jazz. It seems to me that Sprung has taken a logical and exciting step...by tastefully adding jazz instruments to the bluegrass ensemble and giving bluegrass an exciting swing."
