This CD is a wonderful tribute to a group that was responsible for the &#8220;saxophone craze&#8221; of the 1920s, and subsequently, the saxophone&#8217;s popularity in American Music.<\/p>\n\n      <p>The Royal City Saxophone Quartet specializes in the Ragtime genre, and this latest CD has really thrilled me with fresh renditions of this music. The extensive liner notes are by Dr. Bruce Vermazen, noted historian on the Six Brown Brothers.<\/p>\n\n      <p>Though RCSQ is a quartet, for the quintet and sextet pieces, they recorded four parts together, then dubbed additional parts as needed. Instruments include soprano, alto, C melody, tenor, baritone, and bass saxophones.<\/p>\n\n      <p>This is a must-have CD for fans of the bass saxophone, Ragtime, and most importantly, the Six Brown Brothers. Available from CBC Records, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbcrecords.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.cbcrecords.ca<\/a>, order number MVCD 1160. Also available from the RCSQ website at <a href=\"https:\/\/royalcitysax.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.royalcitysax.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n      <p><strong>I know you will be pleased with this CD\u2026 and I am sure the Six Brown Brothers would be, too.<\/strong><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"reprint-note\">\n      \u00a9 2003\u20132026 RCSQ \u00b7 Reprinted with permission from the author.\n    <\/div>\n\n    <hr>\n\n    <!-- QUICK LINKS -->\n    <div class=\"quicklinks\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/royalcitysax.com\/?page_id=368\">\u2190 Back to Smiles &amp; Chuckles CD<\/a>\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/royalcitysax.com\/?page_id=412\">Review by J.S.
