Brad Litwin - Ragtime Jazz . Stride Blues

Bradley N. Litwin is a Ragtime Jazz and Stride Blues Guitarist who Can Sing! With the rompin' stompin' finger-picking styles of Blind Blake and Robert Johnson, adaptations of Fats Waller and Willie "The Lion" Smith, the crooning of the Mills Brothers, and the exhilaration of Bessie Smith, Litwin marries peak guitar performance with a voice that engages from the first phrase, shifting from dark to light, funny to tender, smooth to rollicking.

Touring solo, or with a trio that adds violin and tuba, Litwin performs in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, engaged in community outreach, residencies and workshops for all ages.

There appears to be some confusion as to the identity of the accompianists here.And the viewer who,apparently,recognises a porn star begs the question;how does one identify aporn actor,by the face or what? Why are all actors nowadays referred to as "Stars"?Nice music though.

[BLitwin]

The violinist is Michael Salsburg, and that's Jim Parker on the Sousaphone. None of us are porn stars, as far as I am aware.

[BLitwin]

Huh? I don't get that at all.

I think the suits add some class, some style added to the stylish tunes. Great sound all around, this is great.
