"Ragtime Bob" Darch at the Springfield Ragtime Festival
Legendary pianist and entertainer "Ragtime Bob" Darch performs at the Springfield Ragtime Festival (Springfield, MO | September 2, 2002). Bob Darch was one of the ragtimers of the 1950s and '60s who sought out the original composers and helped revive the careers of Joseph Lamb, Eubie Blake, and many others. Despite the fact that this was recorded barely over a month before Darch passed away, Darch is in good form and this is a rare opportunity to see and hear him perform on video.

A tribute to legendary pianist and entertainer "Ragtime Bob" Darch, produced by Brian Hawkins shortly after Darch passed away. Bob Darch was one of the ragtimers of the 1950s and '60s who sought out the original composers and helped revive the careers of Joseph Lamb, Eubie Blake, and many others. There are not many video clips of Bob Darch available, so I thought I would share this for everyone...

Australian pianist Sefton Daly performs his own composition "Brown Study" in the movie WHEREVER SHE GOES (1951).

    The last composer that Adam played was Tom Brier. Tom was in a horrible car accident 2016 when he was rear ended by a truck and suffered spinal cord injury up to the neck. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but even though Adam did not mention this, I could see from the way he spoke about him that Adam was well aware of Tom's on-going struggles. I think Tom is still alive as of June 2024. Now that we're in the new era of Google where it doesn't help me find information but only directs me to pay sites, I couldn't get a reliable update on Tom's condition.

    The music industry is corrupt. They don't play the music people want, they try to change what people want instead. I think the charts have always been rigged, and the owners of the music industry just decide what will be popular each decade.

      Even though this concert has a high number of views, I would not recommend it as an example of my work. It’s “themed honky-tonk” night… the corny 1950s commercial style of ragtime. I would suggest looking at my stride jazz oriented concerts or the concert entitled “Jazz Age Masterpieces,” for more variety and serious concert piano works of the 1920s and 30s.

  • @matthewfuller5209
    @matthewfuller5209 23 дні тому

    Adam, would it be possible for you to do an evening of Slow Piano? After all, Scott Joplin said that Ragtime should never be played fast. But anyway, an evening of slower piano numbers could be an interesting concept.

    • @adamgswanson
      @adamgswanson 23 дні тому

      Yes, definitely an interesting idea. I was just lamenting the fact that I rarely get requests for slower numbers. However, I disagree that Joplin's music should be played slow. He meant not as fast as circus reels (and there is also no proof he wrote that line -- it could have been the music publisher.)
