Sadly, Robert died of alcoholism induced epilepsy, but among his accomplishments was playing for the Kennedy family while employed nightly at Herb McCarthy’s Bowden Square in Southampton, NY
I did not know about him and his music. Romantic, with airs of Erik Satie at times and also but lesser to Philip Glass. Beautiful. My friend Dave Bronstetter introduced Nathaniel Dett to me. Thanks Dave.
I love this piece, thank you! By looking around me, in musician circles, I feel we are reconecting more and more with these early 20th century masterpieces nowaday :) 100 years cycle? Pendemic aftermath? Overflow of muzak? Overcooling tendencies of academia jazz? Frfrfr! Vulgar assomptions, I Know ; p
Yes, I think there is a greater openness to music by 'minor' and female composers, or to marginalised musical communities from the past and that's definitely a positive thing, isn't it? Personally I find I get weary of hearing the same canonic works over and over and I certainly avoid playing them if I can.
I love the Juba, I’m playing it and it’s a wonderful piece by Dett !
It’s full of joy and fun, it feels like there is a little story is going on 😂
Thank to Robert J. Smith (deceased circa 1983) for illuminating my life about this wonderful suite.

Beautifullly played - the Barcarolle is a particularly fine piece, I think.
Delightful and evocative piano works by Dett. Very well played by Erickson.
