If the average listener is asked to characterize southern instrumental music, he will probably describe a modern bluegrass ensemble like those frequently encountered in the commercial media. For example, the film Bonnie and Clyde used a fifties bluegrass recording by Flatt and Scruggs to portray typical Oklahoma country music during the Depression. But the folk music actually to be heard in that locale at that time would have been considerably different. Although this movie's choice of music is more apt than some, the result is more or less equivalent to equating the works of Charlie Parker with those of Jelly Roll Morton. Bluegrass music, as explained in the notes to New World Records NW 225, Hills and Home: Thirty Years of Bluegrass, does represent an extension of older southern traditions, but only in the sense in whichCharlie Parker is an extension of Jelly Roll Morton. Folk music is never completely static, and developments in a new instrumental style can occur as rapidly as the most meteoric changes in pop music. In the present record we shall concentrate on some of the older aspects of instrumental
techniques in the South and how they have become amalgamated into newer forms.
