Rethinking Ragtime

I became addicted to ragtime several years ago, suddenly and somewhat randomly. This album is the result of that obsession and the last several years of study and composition that followed. I'm a classical transplant tackling ragtime, the quintessentially American genre, but taking it in my own direction. The album has eight originals and three classics (with my own twists of course). 

Below you can listen to the title track (video further down).

​Ragtime Reflections

 Included in the album are a set of carefully researched, heavily opinionated, and highly personal reflections on ragtime.  You'll learn about the history of ragtime, about the essentials of the style, about swing rhythm in Beethoven and jazz, about the different influences that went into my own music, and about my somewhat contentious email correspondence with William Bolcom himself, all with accompanying examples at the piano. Listen to a couple of tracks below.
