{"id":7158790455357,"title":"Memories on Morgan Street","handle":"2265","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is something magical about hearing a well-loved ragtime favorite interpreted in a way that rekindles the joy and exhilaration of hearing it for the first time. In his approach to the music, composer and pianist \u003cstrong\u003eRoyce Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e has positioned himself at the fore of a new ragtime vanguard. Drawing inspiration from gospel, jazz, classical, and even hip-hop, Martin reimagines the music of Scott Joplin in a variety of moods, from poignant, heartfelt, and introspective; to playful and humorous; to brimming with joyful, youthful exuberance. Martin's virtuosic \"rag-bop\" interpretations never lose sight of Joplin's melodic genius or the rhythmic drive that animates the best ragtime. In addition to 12 piano solos, the deluxe 2-CD edition of the album includes several audio drama vignettes depicting imagined scenes from Joplin's life and beyond, and the original rap song \"Rags to Riches,\" which incorporates Joplin's \"The Entertainer.\" Recorded in the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site, St. Louis, Missouri. 16 tracks. 69 minutes. Includes liner notes by the artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe translucent clear vinyl edition has been mastered and pressed by Optimal in Germany for superb fidelity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Due to time limitations, the translucent clear vinyl edition includes only the 12 piano solos, though the accompanying MP3 download provided with the vinyl includes all dramatic vignettes and the rap song \"Rags to Riches.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRivermont catalogue number: BSW-2265\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormats available:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio CD [2-disc set]\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl LP + MP3 (Crystal clear vinyl)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApple Lossless\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003edigital download \/ no physical product\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMP3\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003edigital download \/ no physical product\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are purchasing a digital download and you do not know whether your playback device is compatible with Apple Lossless, we recommend the universally-compatible MP3 format.

is something magical about hearing a well-loved ragtime favorite interpreted in a way that rekindles the joy and exhilaration of hearing it for the first time. In his approach to the music, composer and pianist \u003cstrong\u003eRoyce Martin\u003c\/strong\u003e has positioned himself at the fore of a new ragtime vanguard. Drawing inspiration from gospel, jazz, classical, and even hip-hop, Martin reimagines the music of Scott Joplin in a variety of moods, from poignant, heartfelt, and introspective; to playful and humorous; to brimming with joyful, youthful exuberance. Martin's virtuosic \"rag-bop\" interpretations never lose sight of Joplin's melodic genius or the rhythmic drive that animates the best ragtime. In addition to 12 piano solos, the deluxe 2-CD edition of the album includes several audio drama vignettes depicting imagined scenes from Joplin's life and beyond, and the original rap song \"Rags to Riches,\" which incorporates Joplin's \"The Entertainer.\" Recorded in the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site, St. Louis, Missouri. 16 tracks. 69 minutes.

Royce Martin

Memories on Morgan Street

$19.95
Maximum quantity available reached.

There is something magical about hearing a well-loved ragtime favorite interpreted in a way that rekindles the joy and exhilaration of hearing it for the first time. In his approach to the music, composer and pianist Royce Martin has positioned himself at the fore of a new ragtime vanguard. Drawing inspiration from gospel, jazz, classical, and even hip-hop, Martin reimagines the music of Scott Joplin in a variety of moods, from poignant, heartfelt, and introspective; to playful and humorous; to brimming with joyful, youthful exuberance. Martin's virtuosic "rag-bop" interpretations never lose sight of Joplin's melodic genius or the rhythmic drive that animates the best ragtime. In addition to 12 piano solos, the deluxe 2-CD edition of the album includes several audio drama vignettes depicting imagined scenes from Joplin's life and beyond, and the original rap song "Rags to Riches," which incorporates Joplin's "The Entertainer." Recorded in the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site, St. Louis, Missouri. 16 tracks. 69 minutes. Includes liner notes by the artist.

The translucent clear vinyl edition has been mastered and pressed by Optimal in Germany for superb fidelity.

Note: Due to time limitations, the translucent clear vinyl edition includes only the 12 piano solos, though the accompanying MP3 download provided with the vinyl includes all dramatic vignettes and the rap song "Rags to Riches."

Memories on Morgan Street

A beautiful recording. Royce Martin --unknown to me till his mention in a piece by John McWhorter-- is a treasure. His playing is both delicate and powerful, elegiac and danceable. Scott Joplin would be thrilled with Royce's treatment of his work. And Royce's original stuff on the "Deluxe" CD is entirely appropriate and compelling. Thanks to John McWhorter for turning me on to this marvelous collection; if it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me.

Why hadn’t I heard of Royce Martin before?

He makes Joplin sound a little less classical and a little more jazz.And, I admire this man’s skill. The album is a pleasure to listen to.

Joplin ragtime with modern flavor. GREAT!

Checked this recording out just out of curiosity without high expectations. But it’s really wonderful. Both faithful to the original ABC full of very cool modern explorations.

Great LP

I am a great fan of Scott Joplin music and have the 3 old LPs of Joshua Rifkin's playing of Joplin's music, so this new one intrigued me greatly.

Great Playing and a very good pressing. Love the translucent vinyl, but black would have been OK.

Look forward to more music from you.

Royce Martin brought the house down at Sedalia

It is not fair to say that the Sedalia faithful constitute a tough crowd, but most of the regulars have been spoiled over the years. So this year of 2023 on walks this new guy, by name Royce Martin, and he just does not fit current expectations. A young black guy, like a modern day Scott Joplin or something? Then he starts playing. He doesn't fit current expectations again. What is he playing? Maybe like a modern day Scott Joplin or something? One thing that a very discerning audience agreed on was that Royce is very, very good. You will not be disappointed with this music except that it doesn't last long enough. More please. Bryan, are you listening?
