Stride piano classics and some unusual picks that are centered around four great composers of the genre; Duke Ellington, Willie "The Lion" Smith, James P. Johnson and Thomas "Fats" Waller. Most of the works are familiar, and all of them are simply good piano-thumpin' foot-stompin' fun. |

Ragtime and Stride piano duets are just plain fun, especially when done with some of your most talented friends. That is exactly what I had the privilege to do throughout 2012 into 2013, this album being the result. All of the tracks were spontaneous and recorded live at some of the top ragtime events of the year. |

Tangos and Rags are not that different, and they co-evolved at the same time. This album covers some of that crossover, with rags that are tango-like in nature, and some authentic Ernesto Nazareth tangos as well. Includes two contemporary tangos by two of my favorite ragtime friends, and a detailed booklet on the genre and the pieces. |
