Work introduction
This piece is a reimagining of traditional classic jazz and ragtime played in and around
New Orleans at the beginning of the 20th century. It features several breakdowns -
an instrumental form featuring a series of short solos; an example of this is "Chicago
Breakdown", recorded in 1928 by Louis Armstrong the Hot Seven.
The title references Jelly Roll Morton's "Milneburg Joys", later recorded by the New Orleans Rhythm Kings
as "Milenburg Joys".
