The ideal blend for lively conversation

This blend of Charlie Christian and Lord Jelly Roll ragtime along with some Benny Goodmen and Tommy Dorsey creates the perfect background vibe for poker night. It also works great for a small soiree or cocktail party when you want the underscore to encourage relaxed open conversation.

The perfect poker blend is 50% Benny Goodman with Charlie Christian, 25% Tommy Dorsey, 25% Lord Jelly Roll.

You gotta love that Charlie Christian guitar. It’s the real deal. But adding the ragtime with the swing is just right. This list ends up having a lot of Benny Goodman because Charlier Christian played with them, but that’s okay because Benny Goodman hits the poker playing vibe right on the button. The ragtime just blends it with the earlier era.
