Eteri Andjaparidze, Zez Confrey - Zez Confrey Piano Music flac album

These pleasant little ragtime-flavored pieces of pop piano illustrate both why the average American enjoyed such stuff and why Harlem stride piano ace Willie "The Lion" Smith spoke so disparagingly of what he regarded as know-nothing ragtimers, meaning those who helped to popularize and perpetuate the often improvisationally limited Tin Pan Alley approach to piano playing. Fortunately, the works presented here prove that Confrey was capable of tapping into some of the same creative traditions as the Lion himself preferred

Fourth Dimension (1:54) Состав: Eteri Andjaparidze - piano Recorded in Fisher Hall, Santa Rosa, CA on March 23-25, 1995. Zez Confrey's compositions for piano deserve a better shake than they've been getting over the past 80 years or so. While historical recordings made by Confrey himself are delightful and exciting to those who enjoy such innocent fun, these 1995 realizations by Georgian pianist Eteri Andjaparidze expand the lens a bit and allow for a glimpse at the composer's full range of musical ideas. African Suite," from 1924, is without question the strongest music of the entire album. Here there is more of an authentic involvement with genuine ragtime and even jazz. Confrey, in fact, appears to have been listening carefully to James P. Johnson, George Gershwin, and maybe even Fats Waller.
