#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.”

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.

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.

Jazz is powerful word, so powerful that the decade 1919/1929 was held in its grasp, known as the Jazz Age. Yet it has a strange and complicated history. At
