Musical Interlude: Modern composer William Bolcom is technically regarded as a modern classical musician, but his leanings are very much toward jazz. He created a cycle of piano rags that are charming works. The "Graceful Ghost Rag" is justly famous, and I'm sure I've featured it before, but here's another rag just as nice.

"The Last Rag," composed by William Bolcom, performed by Marc-André Hamelin (who I was lucky enough to catch live once)
