{"id":11624930191,"title":"Invincible Syncopations: The New Ragtime Music of Vincent Matthew Johnson","handle":"2241","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eInvincible Syncopations\u003c\/em\u003e is the first CD devoted entirely to the piano music of Vincent Matthew Johnson, one of the most inspired and remarkable composers of ragtime in the past half century. Like Scott Joplin and Joseph Lamb, Johnson infuses his works with haunting, bittersweet melodies and seductive, syncopated rhythms; but these are not merely \"soundalike\" works -- Johnson's rags retain an individual flavor all their own. Pianist Max Keenlyside's interpretations are a wonder in themselves: musically sensitive renderings that bring out the full beauty of Johnson's compositions. The CD includes a 24-page illustrated booklet with liner notes by William McNally. 19 selections. 80 minutes of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRivermont catalogue number: BSW-2241\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormats available:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio CD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApple Lossless\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.

Like Scott Joplin and Joseph Lamb, Johnson infuses his works with haunting, bittersweet melodies and seductive, syncopated rhythms; but these are not merely \"soundalike\" works -- Johnson's rags retain an individual flavor all their own. Pianist Max Keenlyside's interpretations are a wonder in themselves: musically sensitive renderings that bring out the full beauty of Johnson's compositions. The CD includes a 24-page illustrated booklet with liner notes by William McNally. 19 selections. 80 minutes of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRivermont catalogue number: BSW-2241\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormats available:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio CD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApple Lossless\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\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.

Invincible Syncopations: The New Ragtime Music of Vincent Matthew Johnson

Maximum quantity available reached.

Invincible Syncopations is the first CD devoted entirely to the piano music of Vincent Matthew Johnson, one of the most inspired and remarkable composers of ragtime in the past half century. Like Scott Joplin and Joseph Lamb, Johnson infuses his works with haunting, bittersweet melodies and seductive, syncopated rhythms; but these are not merely "soundalike" works -- Johnson's rags retain an individual flavor all their own. Pianist Max Keenlyside's interpretations are a wonder in themselves: musically sensitive renderings that bring out the full beauty of Johnson's compositions. The CD includes a 24-page illustrated booklet with liner notes by William McNally. 19 selections. 80 minutes of music.

Rivermont catalogue number: BSW-2241

A truly remarkable collection of compositions

This album is special. The compositions are among the very best rags ever written, and they are played spectacularly by accomplished pianist, Max Keenlyside. This has been a favorite album of mine for years now, and I believe it is a must-have for any ragtime/early jazz lover out there.

An absolute delight ! - don't hesitate, just get it and Listen ...

The tag 'New Ragtime' reveals imaginative original composition with a blend of stylistic, historical and cultural influences that expresses great interest and wide learning in the genre. Introspective and yet strongly outward-motivated, Composer and Performer are clearly 'of one mind' in this varied and enjoyable set, which well repays repeated listening - especially for its punning Titles and frequent musical 'jests'. Apart from an obvious debt to the restrained-tempo work of Classic Ragtime 'greats' Joplin, Scott and Lamb, British listeners may also be reminded of the 1920s Novelty-piano style of Billy Mayerl, together with clear echoes of C19th 'Irish' Parlour Songs and popular Music-Hall numbers.

Johnson's "invincible" music played to perfection

This CD contains 19 rags composed entirely or in part by Vincent Johnson, who belongs to the upper echelon of modern-day ragtime composers in regards to originality and freshness, yet still paying respect to the old masters. Fellow composer and pianist Max Keenlyside takes these challenging rags for a spin on this disc, but you wouldn't know it just by listening to it once or twice without knowing. Mr. Keenlyside's interpretations are fully respective of the composer's intentions, and he doesn't try to seize the spotlight for himself, instead letting the music speak. And speak beautifully it does. (I should point out that Mr. Keenlyside did have a hand in three of the tracks on this disc; he co-composed "Oatmeal Rag No.1" and arranged "Betty Crocker's Cakewalk" and "Night-Time in Nigeria". His creative imprint is evident on the former arrangement, but much more subtle on the latter.)

The rags themselves range from sensitive and melodic ("Blue-Berry Pancakes", "Elysian Park Rag") to show-stoppers ("Mother Lode Rag", "Cedarhawke Rag") to quirky rags that derive from alternate scales or are meant to evoke another culture ("That Bagel Rag", "Red Envelope Rag"). Through all of them, Mr. Johnson displays his skill as a melodist and his command of ragtime textures.

These rags are a treat to listen to, both for their musical content and the renditions by a pianist worthy to perform them. This CD belongs in every modern ragtime enthusiast's collection.
