From our recent Transatlantic Ragtime Romp, here is my orchestra performing 'Down In Zanzibar,' from 1917. Any pre-existing ensemble names were dropped in favor of Matt Tolentino and his Orchestra, since this ensemble was hand-picked from musicians around the country... and a new band name seemed fitting.
Excuse the vertical nature of the video - one of our attendees took the video, and I was glad to have it, since I forgot my own camera rig.
Big thanks to Tom Pecena and Ahoy Vintage Cruises for making it happen. For more info check out MattTolentino.com - cheers!
