{"product_id":"graceful-ghost-contemporary-piano-rags-1960-2021-cd","title":"Graceful Ghost: Contemporary Piano Rags 1960-2021 [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)","description":"\u003cp\u003eUpon it's initial release in 1994, The Graceful Ghost charted new musical ground as one of the first recorded surveys of \"contemporary\" piano ragtime from a broad range of composers. The album's 15 tracks included works by William Bolcom, Max Morath, Trebor Jay Tichenor, Terry Waldo, Hal Isbitz, Donald Ashwander, William Albright, and others, in dynamic performances by virtuoso pianist Matthew de Lacey Davidson that highlighted the rhythmic and expressive possibilities in modern ragtime. The album was a critical success, and it set the stage for recordings of new ragtime by other artists in the years that followed. In celebration of the album's 30th anniversary, Rivermont is pleased to present this deluxe collector's edition including more than 70 minutes of newly recorded music, expanding the scope of the original album to include works from 1960-2021 and adding pieces by Tom Shea, Peter Lundberg, Robin Frost, Ross Petot, Galen Wilkes, Bob Darch, and others. The original 1994 recordings sound better than ever thanks to expert remastering by renowned engineer Doug Benson, and the new recordings made in 2023 prove that Davidson's formidable technique has lost none of it's brilliance. From the rollicking \"Brun Campbell Express\" to the haunting \"Sleepwalker's Shuffle\" to the nostalgic \"Golden Hours\" to the touching \"Desdemona\" to the dazzling \"Bell Rag,\" The Graceful Ghost is a musical tour-de-force packed with 37 selections sure to delight any lover of syncopated piano music. This specially-priced 2-CD set contains two-and-a-half hours of music along with a handsome 20-page booklet featuring insightful notes by Galen Wilkes, Jeff Barnhart, and Matthew de Lacey Davidson.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHard Luck Lulu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatisfaction Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeabiscuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Ghost Rags -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Graceful Ghost [Take 2]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Ghost Rags -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoltergeist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Ghost Rags -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDream Shadows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGothenburg Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpera House Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne for Max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne for Norma - a Ragtime Intermezzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne for Amelia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoggy Bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJacaranda - a Ragtime Waltz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrun Campbell Express\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Sixteenths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHere and Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSweet Alyssum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlligator Gravy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystic Memories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Ghost Rags -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe Graceful Ghost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChandelier Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad Thai and Sala\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400 Roncesvalles Avenue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePleasant Point - Rag Verismo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarry and Jesse's Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesdemona\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRagtime in the Hollow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpalescence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Golden Hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAugusta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Oyster Shimmy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhippoorwill Hollow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Elusive Rags -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMystery Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Elusive Rags -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElegiac Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree Elusive Rags -\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransylvanian Tickler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Sleepwalker's Shuffle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Bell Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 620953694820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rivermont\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.21.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45203190186007,"sku":"OOO","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/animeimports.net\/products\/graceful-ghost-contemporary-piano-rags-1960-2021-cd","provider":"Anime Imports LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
