  • Wow there are some heavy players there. Spitznagel and Swanson watching Asaro.

  • Sometimes the "heavy players' are gathered all around while one of them provides the fireworks. Always fun to be there when that happens.

    Thanks for your nice comments!

  • Without question the finest rendition of the Charleston Rag I've ever heard... better than even Eubie Blake's recording of his own piece!

  • Thanks for your nice comment, and for watching!

  • Tom, I'm ecstatic that you captured this.  This is one of the greatest performances of this tune I've heard. You can be sure all the pianists who were there (myself included) will be studying this video and stealing all of Paul's ideas! Fantastic stuff.

  • Hi Spitzy!

    Glad you liked it! Yup, I thought it was a might nice performance, and was tickled to get it.

    It's always fun to get video of any one of you guys at the 88's and a few others standing there taking it all in.

    Life is good!

    Merry Christmas!
