G Rag - Aaron Jonah Lewis's Ragtime Banjo Revival Trio - Live at The Ark, May 24, 2024

From the fiddling of Andrew Baxter with Jim Baxter and the Georgia Yellow Hammers. Andrew Baxter (1869–1955), African-American fiddle player, and Jim Baxter (1898–1950), African-American-Cherokee singer and guitar player, were a father and son fiddle and guitar duet from Gordon County, Georgia, who recorded in the 1920s.

The Georgia Yellow Hammers and the Baxters traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina, to record for Victor in the summer of 1927. Because of the Jim Crow laws, the Baxters had to ride several cars behind the Yellow Hammers on the train ride to Charlotte. In Charlotte, each group recorded their individual sessions, with one exception: Andrew Baxter played fiddle on "G Rag" with the Yellow Hammers. It is thought that "G Rag" is one of the earliest integrated recordings of Georgia musicians.
