Under The Midnight Moon: A New Traditional Jazz and Ragtime Album by Miss Maybell & Charlie Judkins

Under The Midnight Moon is a new traditional jazz, ragtime, and Tin Pan Alley album from Miss Maybell & Charlie Judkins, featuring 15 previously unrecorded songs from the golden age of early American music. Written and published between 1890 and 1930, these vintage jazz and American roots songs were never commercially recorded, until now. Pulled from archives and historic sheet music collections, the album blends ragtime, early swing, and Tin Pan Alley influences with the sound of traditional jazz as it was originally played, offering a rare piece of Americana history brought fully to life.

Miss Maybell and Charlie Judkins spent years searching for these songs. What they found were pieces that had sat silent for over a century, waiting for someone to finally play them.

Backed by an ensemble of acclaimed traditional jazz musicians, the album doesn't just recreate the past. It makes the case that these songs deserved to survive it.

For fans of traditional jazz, ragtime, vintage jazz, Tin Pan Alley, early American music, Americana, acoustic roots, and historic recordings, Under The Midnight Moon is a rare chance to hear music from America's past, heard for the very first time.
