James P. Johnson - "You've Got to Be Modernistic"

This is my Lester player piano I got on ebay for $10. I love this piece and stride piano in general. I have removed all the casework for a complete restoration. A new pianodisc digital player has been installed and that's what's playing. I am working on refinishing and re-covering the old pneumatic player and that will be re-installed. Also I am refinishing the mahogany case of the piano. Enjoy!

I'm studying for a Jazz class, and its nice to get a real visual on stride music. I'm gonna have to show this to my fellow students. :)

I'd love to give that piano a try.I find that most player piano's have a great mellow tone.They must be getting rare these days.After you have finished her, please post the results.I love old pianos.

I've seen many players like this go for starting bids of 9.99 over the years. Just have to look a bit.

I really enjoyed this performance, thank you for posting it and giving this piano the rescue it deserves.
