Everybody Step - Music Box Review Of 1921

Here is a great old Irving Berlin tune written for the Music Box Review of 1921. Performed on this 1925 Stroud Duo Art Pianola by the talented composer, pianist and businessman Max Kortlander as recorded in the early 1920's. Here is the great Kortlander style that was seemingly lost in the years when Max turned business man at QRS.

hoho! that's a great ending on this one! Kortlander could really strut when he wanted to! I always thought the QRS rolls from 1915-1925 were the best ones they ever did.

Kortlander's fill-ins are so melodic! I guess they ought to be, given the sheer number of melodic tunes that he played.

Yeah... it is a great HOSE ! Many downplay Max's rolls, but there are some great ones in that time frame (especially some great 2 handed ones) that in their own way, rival the best of Wendling, or even Johnson (sorry) in their own unique way. It is all in the style you prefer, but I think there was some basic relative talent there one can see in a those pianusts and complosers of that era.

You sure have a wealth of unique rolls !

Thank you... I have had many different ones over the years but now only the better ones ( and stranger ones) remain....

This is extra nice, and your piano has such a clear bright sound on this roll. Thanks for posting.
