Thanks. I did not know about him. I have to check this out.

he's amazing, one of that school of in-between pianists- sorta jazz sorta ragtime sorta blues. It's a great combination.

Listened to just the harpsichord stuff (of Meade Lux Lewis) tonight. Freakin' amazing.

For haters of the harpsichord (and I am usually one, I have to admit): you need to hear these sessions. Might just change your opinion of this spindly creature.

well, once you've heard Wanda Landowski boogie her woogie, you'll never be the same -
