'Panama Rag' composed in 1911 by William H Tyers. It seems to have been based on a piano rag by C Seymour. By the way, 'Panama Rag' (originally entitled 'Panama, A Characteristic Novelty') is a standard in the repertoire of traditional jazz bands. The composer Tyers, born in Virginia, the son of former slaves, lived from 1870 to 1924. The piece of music possibly has nothing to do with the country Panama or the Panama Canal which was under construction at the time: it is said by at least one source to have been named in honour of Aida Overton Walker and Her Panama Girls - a music hall act. Whatever the truth, it is a great number and can sound good no matter at what tempo you take it. It can be strenuous to play, especially for the trumpeter, as there are five themes - all of which are usually repeated. It starts in E flat; and modulates later into A flat.
Ah, do not be fooled, Waldschratt. There are hundreds of tunes and recordings I have never heard. All I do is study each new tune as it is introduced to me by the New Orleans bands of today. This particular tune is still played frequently, so I happen to be familiar with it.

@Pops Coffee: Is there anything you don’t know about early jazz?
