Synopsis

Album Description
New Orleans Piano Rolls documents what is referred to as traditional New Orleans piano music. It is a good representation of what you might hear when you see Krown play solo piano performances. He is attempting to carry on the tradition of the great New Orleans piano styles, beginning with ragtime and continuing into boogie woogie and stride, all in the style of modern pianists, such as Professor Longhair, Dr. John and James Booker.

The Best New Orleans Piano player that you never heard of
Joepiano | Austin, TX | 06/22/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a great CD! This is one of the best contemporary New Orleans piano players that you have never heard of. Joe Krown has an excellent selection of songs; they are played brilliantly, and the recording is crystal clear. This CD goes quite smoothly through all of the New Orleans "standards" from ragtime to boogie woogie and stride. The song that impressed me the most was "tipitina". Everyone in the big easy plays this one from Professor Longhair to Dr. John. Joe Krown's version is my favorite! He includes several of his own compositions, and they are fantastic. I read above that since September 1996, he's held the Traditional Piano Night slot at the Maple Leaf Bar in New Orleans, which was once occupied by Professor Longhair and James Booker. That's good company, Joe!

"This is the most satisfying CD I have heard in years, with layer upon layer of artistry and creativity, not just with the old standards but with Joe Krown's 3 new compositions. Every time I listen I hear something new in this sparkling performance. His previous solo piano album was just a warm-up for these 15 amazing tracks. His organ and combo CDs are fine, but this is the one to cherish."
