William Bolcom - Graceful Ghost Rag.wmv

[Doug19752533]

this is an excelent interpretation, much like Rifkin playing the rags of Joplin, Lamb, and Scott. i do not like the other versions of Graceful Ghost with the swing - in fact there is no indication to swing rhythm the music anywhere in the score. a beautiful modern classic rag - Joplin would have praised this piece

Listen to Bolcom play it and you'll hear the swing and lyricism that makes it come alive.

I love that piece... more difficult to play than it seems first.

thanks for the upload and best wishes,
