Chris, Another one that you posted recently was "All of Me" . I just love it. I love that style you have that really swings with a nice blend of stride with your left hand complimented with excellent right hand ! Thanks for posting that one too. Love your stride style of playing.
Thanks. This was a song I worked up for a recording by drummer Daniel Glass. It's going to be part of a DVD on the history of jazz drumming. It hasn't come out yet as far as I can tell. Glad you like it!
Pianist Frank E. Banta and drummer Howard Kopp recorded Calico Rag for Columbia in 1917. I have a pristine copy of that record and others have posted it on TH-cam. It was performed at a fast tempo. Frank E. Banta, who was prolific in his own right, was the son of the pianist Frank P. Banta, a pioneer recording artist and early adopter and proponent of ragtime. Howard Kopp was a prominent ragtime era percussionist. I would presume that Banta and Kopp they knew what they were doing tempo-wise when the recorded the piece in 1917. Here is a link to the recording: th-cam.com/video/tAByXWmshgQ/w-d-xo.html

Splintering, blistering, beautifully wondrous. Wow.
Clean , Clear and Very Uplifting ! Thank you Chris for posting. =;)
Just a fabulous left hand in this Putting on the Ritz and All of Me. Thank you from an old swing bass player.
Thanks. I started as a kid with Ragtime (simple stuff), and still love playing it today. Fun and wonderful music.
wonderful. talent is hidden when you play this music. love to hear a live performance.
Hi Martin, thanks for your comment. Yes, I would like to post some live playing, but I tend to forget to film in the heat of the moment.

Why isn't this for sale on your site? You're amazing! You've brought my favourites together, rag time, swing and Piano!
Your welcome - thanks!
Man, this is awesome! I wish the sound was a little better, it distorts somewhat but not enough to make this unlistenable!
A bit too slow. You need to speed up a bit ! Lol
Play it in 2x
Yes, definitely on the 'bright' side.
Woe! way too fast Remember Joplin quote "Ragtime should never be fast it is never right to play ragtime fast." And Nat Johnson would agree.
Define "fast" - because Joplin didn't. It's a subjective term.
