Wow! What a treasure trove! I love ragtime! It’s so happy! Beautiful!
Beautiful!!!! I wish I could play like that!!
Merci beaucoup.
Dick Zimmerman is a great ragtime pianist!
Thanks Richard, what a great history lesson. I am looking foward to listening for parts two and three.
Verry artystyczna dusza ragtimowego pianisty! Ponadczasowe nagrania ! Dzięki mistrzu Richard "Dick" Zimmerman
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you!
Słuchanie szmat Scotta Joplina w wykonaniu mistrza Richarda Zimmermana niesie dla mnie wiele radości w słuchaniu tej muzyki.
I wish I was there to applaud. THANKS for posting. What a history!!!
Amazing
When they say this is "the first concert devoted to southern ragtime" do they mean the first such concert ever anywhere? That seems pretty implausible to me.
Can someone please tell me the name of the blues he plays at 10:42? I cannot understand what he says. Thank you!!!
The Dallas Blues
Thank you so much!
when was this recorded?
.. meno chiacchiere e più musica... abbiamo già i politici e i religiosi che ci annoiano... con fiabe...
im not gonna lie that was too much pedal for my taste :/
Why do ragtime pianists always play so messily?
It's not messy! It's syncopated and swung!
It entirely depends upon the pianist. For contrast listen to the GREAT Frank Banta in his own 1927 arrangement/performance of "Ain't She Sweet" (the very first recording of this piece): ua-cam.com/video/abUPWoPso0c/v-deo.html
Richard Zimmerman's piano style is heavily influenced by several vintage pianists, of which one was Charley Straight (1891-1940) who made over 100 rolls for QRS and hundreds for the Imperial Music Roll Co., as well as several others for other companies like Wurlitzer Rolla Artis and U. S. Music. Straight also made audio recordings accompanying singer Gene Greene (1912-1913 and 1916), and with his dance orchestra (1923-1928).
Here's one of his great piano rolls, his arrangement of a pop song called "He May Be Old, But He Has Young Ideas":

Here's a sheet music transcription of another one of his rolls, this time another song called "Cumberland" (with audio made via MIDI from the roll playing):

Charley Straight can be heard playing in the background behind Gene Greene in these 1912-1913 British Pathe' recordings, a sampling of the 64 or so sides they recorded on their European tour during the European ragtime craze that hit right before WWI. Although these sides are hard to hear (Pathe used a method of recording the artist onto a GIANT master cylinder, which was then dubbed to their vertical-groove, inside-start flat disc production records), and also exceedingly rare (several of their records have still never been found - there are no known copies) his playing on these sides proves that he REALLY played the way he sounds on his earliest QRS Autograph piano rolls 1914-1917: ua-cam.com/play/OLAK5uy_m-LKBWXLk0O_Yn6qCIiCXd6zZ1qVVP2e4.html
Charley Straight's piano style has also heavily influenced several other pianists including Sammy Stept (1897-1964), Wally Rose (1913-1997) and Tom Brier (b. 1971).
What parts seem sloppy to you? I'm not hearing it so far
