Wonderful!.......2005-12-04

I've collected ragtime recordings for some time, and I'm always delighted to find "non-traditional" arrangements of my favorite classic piano rags. Usually, I'm amused by the novelty of hearing these rags orchestrated for instruments other than the piano, but after a few plays, the novelty frequently wears off and I'm back to my piano recordings. Not so here! This is a magnificent recording by a top-notch group in the style of the Canadian Brass. The arrangements are fresh and exciting, they breathe new life into many of these classics. Still, the arrangements are faithful to the originals, and make no attempt to "jazz up" these old rags. The disc has a beautiful warm sound to it, and the members of the Avatar Brass Quintet play magnificently. I particularly like their versions of "Creole Belles," "A Real Slow Drag," and one of the prettiest rags I've ever heard, "Slippery Elm Rag." This has quickly become one of my favorite ragtime discs in my collection. I've listened to it dozens of times, but I never tire of it. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up before it goes out of print. Highly recommended!

A nice change of pace from my "usual" listening........2004-08-14

I endeavored to track down some music written by William Ryden, and ran across this gem of an album, consisting of rags arranged, and in one case composed, by him for brass quintet. (Some time back, I had been at a chamber orchestra concert, and one of the featured works, by Ryden, impressed me enough for such a search. That featured work, a setting of Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass" for vocal quartet, narrator and chamber orchestra, was perfect "pops concert" fare, but alas has yet to be recorded. Too bad; it was both charming and amusing.)

Ryden has to his credit the composing of more than 250 rags for piano. One of them-"Frogmore Stew"-is among the brass quintet arrangements on this album, and, based on its hearing, he seemingly deserves as much prominence as William Bolcom, following in the tradition of Scott Joplin (who has five of his more famous rags included on the album).

Scott Joplin! Who can forget the pathbreaking Nonesuch LP of his piano rags that Joshua Rifkin did more three decades ago, and the effect that album had on the genre? It wasn't just "The Sting" that reflected this rediscovery; this "craze of the times"; it seemed that everyone and his brother wanted to get in on the act. One popular release of the times was Gunther Schuller's "The Redback Book," with the New England Conservatory Orchestra. And I could swear that the Canadian Brass had taken their own whack at the craze, but, in checking my LP library, as well as an Amazon search, I may have conflated a possible Joplin album from them with "The Village Band" album, brass quintet transcriptions of other music from the Gilded Era.

Well, never mind the Canadian Brass! The Avatar Brass Quintet perform these works with all the skill and panache that one could ask for. Not only do we have five Joplin rags, as well as the one by Ryden himself, but equally famous works by Eubie Blake and Irving Berlin, a rare piece by George Gershwin, and a number of rags by some lesser-known contemporaries of Joplin.

What more could one ask for? Well, I for one would like to hear more of Ryden's own rags; maybe not all 250 of them, but at least a few more than just "Frogmore Stew." Perhaps an album that combines Bolcom and Ryden rags as arranged by Ryden for brass quintet would be just the ticket.

In the meantime, this "Magnetic Rags" album fills the bill nicely.

A Favorite Disc..........2004-05-24

This is a wonderful disc featuring classic American rags performed by a talented brass quintet. The timbral dynamics of the quintet are gentle and stunning at the same time. The ensemble's timing and inflection are excellent. Track times are good.

You and Willie "The Lion" Smith.......2004-12-23

I bought the CD because it was on sale and I felt obligated to have at least one of his recordings in my collection.

Boy, did I luck out! It's like having Willie "The Lion" Smith right there with you playing the "pianna" and reminiscing. Just delightful. Every time I listen I get the same impression of him playing, stopping for a few asides about the music, and then, swiveling back to the piano, breeze his way through another song or two until, struck by a thought, he pausing to say something else before returning to his playing.

The 42 minutes whiz by. You'll be glad you bought it.

John Novacek brings back Ragtime, Bigtime!.......2002-06-29

The amazing talent and artistry of American pianist/composer John Novacek is displayed in this album of his own original rags and those of several other well-known ragtime composers including Scott Joplin, James Scott, Luckey Roberts, Joseph Lamb, and more. Novacek is accompanied by his equally talented brother, guitarist Steven Novacek on several selections. In this exciting, toe-tapping collection, the Novaceks bring down the house with their rhythmic precision, delightful charm, and authentic style. What's more, the sound on this album is exquisite! The piano sounds bright, full, and crystal clear. No matter what type of music you prefer, this album is sure to delight and entertain you!
