The Mississippi RagThe Mississippi Rag is an internationally influential monthly jazz newspaper published since 1973. The Mississippi Rag covers traditional jazz and ragtime music. Each month The Rag presents exclusive feature stories by top writers, such as George A. Borgman, on contemporary and legendary giants of traditional jazz and ragtime, plus stories on less well known but accomplished musicians. The Rag covers jazz history, new and current performers, and bands. The paper highlights these bands and performers in each issue, with information about where and when they're playing. The Rag also gives its own perceptive reviews which help readers select the best in recordings, books, videos, DVDs and CD-ROMs. Dubbed the "bible" of the traditional jazz and ragtime world by its readers, The Mississippi Rag serves a worldwide readership. Its monthly tabloid reaches subscribers in all 50 of the United States and in 26 other countries. More than 1/3 of its readers are either professional or amateur musicians. The Rag subscribers includes some of the top musicians, writers, researchers and critics in the traditional jazz and ragtime world. Nearly 100 fine writers and photographers regularly contribute stories and photos to The Rag, and at least six critically acclaimed books have resulted from articles first published in The Mississippi Rag. Rare photos can be seen used in its pages. Duncan P. Schiedt's historic photo collection is used extensively, and The Rag has published many rare photos from private collections as well as magnificent photos by Charles Peterson, Nancy Miller Elliott, Ray Avery, William Gottlieb, and Ed Lawless.
