Still searching....

I am excited, I just this minute picked up her Duo-Art Piano roll "Mahatten" Composed by Richard Rodgers, from the Garrick Gaities of 1925 so I assume this is one her last Piano Rolls.

I found the Folkways record! It's available on c.d. from Smithsonian.

OK nevermind!

This is the first opportunity I've had to hear her play. Fascinating style! Wish I could get that Folkways record.

[KawhackitaRag]

You can! It's now available as a CD from Folkways Smithsonian, which you can find through Google online. Be warned, though, although the arrangements are fantastic, most of the tracks were recorded on Dave Jasen's out-of-tune, out-of-regulation, harsh-sounding player piano, and it can be a bit of a tough listen sometimes. I think it's high time for a CD set of ALL her rolls using a nicely restored player piano!

[KawhackitaRag]

Fantastic record, tune and playing. Thank you!

Great tune by Noel Coward. Virtuosic playing. Many great pop-music pianists of her time, many of whom were classically trained.
