{"product_id":"joseph-lamb-joseph-lamb-a-study-in-classic-ragtime-cd","title":"Joseph Lamb - Joseph Lamb: A Study in Classic Ragtime [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eJoseph Lamb (1887-1960) is considered one of the three great composers of ragtime, along with Scott Joplin and James Scott. Between 1908 and 1919, while living in Montclair, New Jersey, and working in a New York City fabric house, Joe Lamb composed some of the most brilliant ragtime tunes published in America. However, he never released a recording until this one, made in his Brooklyn living room on an upright Knabe piano only a year prior to his death. Lamb, like the other great ragtime composers, considered improvisation to be a trick of \"low-class\" players. He played the rags on this recording not from memory, but from the written music he had composed years earlier, to be sure of playing every note he had written. The liner notes describe Lamb's development as a ragtime composer, as well as a brief biography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCottontail Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcelsior Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleopatra Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Meeting With Scott Joplin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensation - A Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArthur Marshall, Artie Mathews, James Scott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopliner Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Alaskan Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Composition Of Nightingale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ragtime Nightingale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmerican Beauty Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Naming Of Contentment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContentment Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatricia Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 093070356221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Folkways Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.30.12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59580761047121,"sku":"558321","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/1504690.jpg?v=1780042528","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/joseph-lamb-joseph-lamb-a-study-in-classic-ragtime-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
