About this playlist
Fletcher Henderson's excellence as a bandleader and arranger was partially due to his expansion and development of different jazz styles. Tracks like “St. Louis Shuffle” and “Jackass Blues” smoothly blended the harmonies and progressions of blues, the shuffle and stride of ragtime, and the burgeoning individuality via soloing in early jazz. The result was a broader, freer sound for the genre.
