I like to use Joplin music in my slideshows. Great vintage sound.

My late grandmother told me about Scott Joplin. How he could move his fingers on the piano. Growing up in the 50s Rock n Roll era, ragtime was not my Cup of Tea. The 1973 movie, The Sting, played some of his compositions. Also, actor Billy Dee Williams, played the role of Scott Joplin. I saw both movies. Now, I appreciate many other great music legends of decades past. Benny Goodman was awesome on Clarinet. I saw a TV interview, a long time ago, where Lionel Hampton said, Benny Goodman asked him to join his trio.

If you get a chance, listen to the Benny Goodman 1938 jazz concert at Carnegie Hall. Here's the full album:

Enjoy,

He was great. I saw a filmed biography of him but I do not know the title.
Interesting dueling pianos scenes.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I'll listen to it later. It's 53 minutes. One favorite composition that I liked by Benny, as a kid, was One O'clock Jump. My mother played it. I finally got to seeing the 1990 Dizzy Gillespie interview you posted a while back. Enjoyed it. One of the Beboppers of his time.

I have heard that the piano rolls sped up Joplin's music. He is supposed to have said, "never play ragtime fast." I accompany my wife with brushes, snare, and high hat when she plays this rag.

Love, love Scott Joplin; been a fan since the 60s. The move "The Sting" really brought him to the attention of the nation for a while. Some concert Pianist did an album of his songs, but I thought he missed the heart of the music; too soft and sweet for my taste.
