Jamaica Jinjer is indeed a hot rag and a scrumptious delight to get recorder playing lips around. Its form is AABBCC with a 4-bar introduction and two interludes of 4 and 12 bars between the BC and CC strains respectively. The 12-bar interlude has a nice chiming effect which requires meticulous tonguing to get it just right. The descant is a little underemployed in the C-strain and could be requested to help out on bass in bars 43 and 44. On the whole a jolly ensemble rag.
The cover of the original sheet music shows a diaphanously clad miss dancing gaily against a Caribbean inset.
Jamaica Jinjer was published by Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York & Detroit, USA.
A tempo of 80 crotchets/min. is suggested.
