“ #Ragtime is a tale of history repeating itself. The #musical centers on figures from three communities — Black Americans, immigrants and upper class whites — in New York at the dawn of the 20th century and what the American dream means to them as they intersect and, at times, clash. Company members from the Tony-nominated, Lincoln Center Theater revival stop by the Tiny Desk to share a bit of that American dream.”

The Vinyl Ape 🦧R. CRUMB AND HIS CHEAP SUIT SERENADERS
Number Two
1976 U.S. pressing
I have a basic rule.
It’s not a complicated one, and it’s fairly easy to follow.
It’s “See A Crumb Album, Buy It.”
Not only was Crumb an insanely gifted cartoonist and illustrator, he was a really fantastic musician, and his records are just really fun old-timey awesomeness.
Just classic #Ragtime #blues and #jazz with that special warped Crumb twist on it.
Stoked to find this today.
Now I have TWO Crumb records.
There always worth owning just for the Crumb artwork alone.
Luckily the music is really enjoyable as well.

DJM (freelance for hire)How Gus Haenschen (born 1889) got us from Joplin to Jazz
https://syncopatedtimes.com/the-missing-link-how-gus-haenschen-got-us-from-joplin-to-jazz-and-shaped-the-music-business/
Here's a 1916 track from Gus Haenschen—a year before the first jazz recordings were released.

Haenschen saw himself as a follower of Scott Joplin but the prominence of the drums here is very different from Joplin's rags, and anticipates a jazz sensibility.
D.C. May "Froggy"In honor of good news from Hungary, here's Conway's Band in 1913 with the fun novelty ragtime number "Hungarian Rag".

"Treemonisha" is Scott Joplin's ragtime opera. Now reinterpreted with some African instrumentation.

Qwyrdo and β, music witchesOops about half an hour late but I just released a pair of albums of Original Rags (m.e.r.e. 2026, i.e. the Qwyrdo). Over half an hour of new music in a style over a hundred years past. Both the classic version (minimally processed) and the de-mastered version (processed to emulate dusty old vinyl) are available on my BandCamp for $5 or more. Share and enjoy!
