About This Song
About "The Entertainer" by Mutt Carey
Mutt Carey's trumpet struts with vaudevillian flair on 'The Entertainer,' a ragtime-inflected jazz romp. The melody winks and bows, all showmanship and sly grace, while the band's loose, bouncing groove suggests a stage show's curtain call. It's pure, unpretentious joy with a hint of nostalgic melancholy.
