Ragtime 1: The City: Banjos, Brass Bands, and Nickel Pianos

Various Artists
Ragtime 1: The City: Banjos, Brass Bands, and Nickel Pianos As it did with blues and jazz, the early recording industry missed the beginnings of ragtime. Luckily, the burgeoning player piano industry produced ragtime tunes on paper rolls, and these rolls augment the recordings we have. This collection presents ragtime played on piano rolls as well as on instruments like the banjo, which were suitable for early recording processes.
