Loads of early jazz piano classics
This album has thirty great rags and jazz pieces from the twenties and earlier. I was searching for Zez Confrey publications, remembered I had this volume, checked - yes, it has eight Confrey classics, in their originals! Also early Irving Berlin, Gershwin, a Joplin, a Nazareth,and others, ranging from intermediate/advanced (Palm Beach - Luckey Roberts etc.), to advanced (Coaxing the Piano - Confrey etc.). If you want to make that twenties piano sound, this is terrific. This volume doesn't come up on a composer search, unfortunately, otherwise it would definitely be more popular. (I have a UK post-Grade 8 Performer's Certificate.)
