Scott Joplin as played by Richard Zimmerman.
"Stomptime Rag"
This particular disc was procured from Meijer for a princly sum of $5.
It contains some really good versions of Joplin's works. MY favorites on this
disc are: Solace, The Fig Leaf Rag, Easy Winners, The Cascades, The Maple Leaf
Rag, among others. There are no "bad" tracks on the disc, so it was worth well
more than $5. The name of it is called "Scott Joplin-The Entertainer"
An interesting note about The Entertainer and Solace. Both were featured
in The Sting, and played by Marvin Hamlisch, who IMNSHO did a terrible job
on both of them by editing the soul out of both pieces. It wasn't until I
got this disc that my appreciation of Joplin's music rise to where it is
played by Zimmerman.
