Dalton Ridenhour

Eccentricity: Ragtime, Stride & Blues

$15.95
Maximum quantity available reached.

SOLD OUT! We're sorry, this title is no longer available in CD format.

Dalton Ridenhour has been playing ragtime, stride, and blues for most of his life -- and it shows. A native of St. James, Missouri, he has quietly become one of the most celebrated pianists on the ragtime and jazz festival circuit today. Drawing inspiration from across the board (from Scott Joplin to Fats Waller to George Jones to Elvis Presley to Radiohead to Robert Johnson to Nat King Cole), Ridenhour's playing is distinctive not only for its refreshing originality, but also for its breathtaking lyricism and beauty. Whether playing a classic rag by Joseph Lamb or a Tin Pan Alley song or an improvised blues, he sounds right at home, breathing life into his performances with a steady, inviting swing. Vocalist Mara Kaye and trombonist Dan Reitz join Ridenhour for several selections. For his debut solo CD, Ridenhour has chosen an eclectic blend that mixes standards with a few choice obscurities for a program that holds up well to repeated listenings.

This CD includes a 12-page full-color booklet with an introduction by Martin Spitznagel and liner notes by the artist. 59 minutes.

TAKING IT ALL IN HIS STRIDE

This is a wonderful smorgasbord of pianistic hors d'oeuvres by some of the finest composers of ragtime, stride and popular song, beautifully played by modern-day keyboard professor Dalton Ridenhour. The ragtime pieces include two of Scott Joplin's best-known works, namely "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer", an early work by Eubie Blake, and Joseph Lamb's "Topliner Rag".

One of stride piano's best-known exponents was James P. Johnson, who wrote both the title tune and "Harlem Strut", and also collaborated on "If I Could Be with You One Hour Tonight", where Dalton acknowledges the influence of Art Tatum on his own version.

The blues genre is represented by "Mr. Freddie Blues" with vocal by Mara Kaye (who with trombonist Dan Reitz contributes also to Robert Johnson's "32-20 Blues" and "Crying for the Carolines"). Dalton's own improvisation "PK Blues" is also included. Add "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down (and Write Myself a Letter)" with a touch of Waller thrown in for good measure, the habanera rhythms of Morton's "The Crave", and David Thomas Roberts' elegaic 1979 tribute to the baseball giant Roberto Clemente, and you have a very satisfying hour's worth of wonderful music. Needless to say, recording quality is excellent.
