Synopsis

Album Description

Dave Tucker has produced a fine recording of classic ragtime piano solos authored by Scott Joplin and Joe Lamb. In addition, the early days of American Novelty Piano Music are presented here with piano solos by Zez Confrey, including the smashing "Coaxing the Piano" and the everlasting "Kitten on the Keys". You'll find a fine mix of classic joplin rags and piano novelty solos, with a few standards thrown in as well. This recording was Dave's first CD and predates his newest recording "Meadow Lark" issued in 2005. Both CD's have received high praise at ragtime festivals around the United States. Dave's piano playing is often described using the terms "passion", "expressive", "emotional", "amazing touch" and "exciting".

CD Reviews

Great ragtime and novelty tunes.

William Brown | Painesville, oh United States | 01/20/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I was very impressed with Dave Tucker and his first cd. The selections were interesting, and the playing was "top notch." I did lose interest towards the end with the traditional jazz pieces, but overall the recording was strong.Ragtime is alive and well. I am looking forward to the "new release in 03.""

Excellent ragtime

"This is the first album put out by this performer. I find his technique excellent. He is one of the few performers of ragtime, stride, jazz who demonstrates an amazing emotional connection to his music through his dynamics."
