Artist History As Count Rudolph, Raymond Buckland had a New Orleans style jazzband in London, England (Count Rudolph's Syncopated Jass Men), from 1955 till 1962, playing at the Piccadilly Jazz Club, Baker Street Jazz Club, and various other venues. In recent years, Ray reconstructed the sound of his old band on a Roland KR770, then discovered ragtime and became absorbed in building the sound of a ragtime orchestra. Initially he worked from a copy of the Red Back Book, but quickly came to arrange and orchestrate himself.
