COMMUNITY REVIEWS

As Advertised submitted by Meginator on July 4, 2018, 3:33pm This anthology is exactly as advertised: a collection of classic ragtime hits, many played by the artists who originally popularized them. The songs are a pleasant mix of ragtime styles, though most feature the fast-paced finger-breaking rolls and jumps that characterize the genre’s soul.
