Description

Perhaps the best of the pure piano ragtime albums released by Lou Busch and Capitol Records, this is a collection of 12 representative pieces of the ragtime era carefully curated and spectacularly played by Busch. Sure, The Old Piano Roll Blues and Saint Louis Blues fall a bit outside of the parameters of ragtime by definition, but they fit nicely within this set. It was his first album recorded in the new 1956 state of the art Capitol Records Studio, and unfortunately predated their stereo recording releases by just over a year, but is still sparkling in its fidelity and balance. There was some multi-tracking involved as well, giving some tracks a very rich texture with three- and four-handed passages. Other than several ragtime releases on singles into 1957, this would be the last purely ragtime album by Busch as Joe "Fingers" Carr while he was at Capitol, leaving them for Warner Brothers in 1959. Of particular interest on this album, and it is hard to pick favorites, Saint Louis Blues, Original Jelly Roll Blues, Temptation Rag and Tiger Rag are clearly standouts. Please enjoy this great album and share it with others for the love of ragtime.
