Customer Reviews

Bow to YOur Papa!!!!
This disc is one of my favorites in the ragtime genre..and I listen to a lot of them. I especially like to crank up the volume on the final track right before I get to work in the morning. The gate guard looks at me a little peculiar, but nothing gets you rolling like a little Regal Stomp.. the duet (even though it's a piano roll by Jimmy Blythe and his cousin) is just a tremendous piece of music. When you combine this track with ones by Jelly Roll Morton, Eubie, Fats, James P. Johnson and the 'King' Scott Joplin, it just doesn't get any better. If you've missed this disc, get it now!

A must-have for ragtime lovers
These songs are not only classic ragtime, most of them are being performed by the original artists. Despite the age of the recordings, the sound reproduction is excellent. If you are a ragtime fan, DO NOT miss this one!

Fantastic
Digital recordings from player-piano performances. You can still hear some faint sounds of the player piano in the background, but that does add some charm to the effect. Bravo for the producers who found a nice way to preserve performances that otherwise might have literally disintegrated.

There are 3-4 tracks by several well-known artists performing their own works. Very enjoyable.
