You will be able to hear some of the finest instruments ever made, both large and small, American and European; playing anything from popular, ragtime, blues and ethnic to classical and operatic music. Most were built during the \"golden age\" of AMI, or approx. 1895-1928. They were designed for all sorts of listening environments--private homes, ice cream parlors, restaurants, bars, nickelodeon theaters, hotel lobbies, dance halls, skating rinks, and fairgrounds. Our primary goal will be to familiarize the audience with the wide variety of instruments that were built throughout this era, pointing out examples of the evolving sophistication of these machines. We will also emphasize developments in the music which was created to play on them, from the earliest drafting-board arrangements to live recordings made onto music rolls and extensive arrangements required to activate the more sophisticated mechanisms included in the later machines. There were some outstanding music performances made for AMI which were never issued in other formats, and we will be sure to play some of these as well. Chicago blues performed by artists like James Blythe will be demonstrated, as well as reproducing piano recordings by artists like Vladimir Horowitz. Music rolls could be created to play for any length of time, unlimited as were 10\" or even 12\" 78s; this was exploited by artists like Jelly Roll Morton who recorded extended versions of some of his classic compositions onto player rolls. The larger and later machines were designed to emulate the sounds of dance bands and small orchestras; we will hear examples of these as well."]}},{"label":{"en":["Language"]},"value":{"en":["English"]}},{"label":{"en":["Publisher"]},"value":{"en":["Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["Copyright Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}}],"summary":{"en":["In this collection one has a rare opportunity to hear m ore automatic musical instruments (AMI) in one place in proper operating condition than in just about any other single location in the world.
