Jazz Antifanariot corrections

Also, did anyone hear music from this album to assign it to hard bop, or was it an automatical assignement? I have uploaded the album on YT so I can provide samples if needed.

Here's a representative track:



Sounds to me (?) like a mix of third stream (Keith Jarrett), ethnic tunes and ragtime.

Besides this track, there are three tracks that are ragtime (26 minutes in total) and two that are "clean" third stream (10 minutes).

I think 3rd Stream is probably the best compromise for this album.

Thanks John.  I didn't yet know that the default genre tag is applied automatically to all the imported albums.

Any album you could suggest for an entrance to ragtime?

You know, I was thinking Raducanu played stride and early swing, but not  ragtime, I may be wrong, do you have some examples to post here by any chance?

The first cut is a modernized form of Ragtime, that is why Raducanu called that cut a rag, he's being anachronistic on purpose, but the next two are hybrids that mix Stride, Swing and even some modern Post-Bop harmonies.

Interesting.

I remember looking once over the Stride Piano definition because I'd never heard about it before, but I'll have to go back to read it again as I don't remember much.

When you say that you hear some post-bop in one of the cuts, that's because he inserts a theme from one of his 60s/70s fusion/hard-bop records. Probably it sounds like post-bop when played at piano solo only, and in this manner.

For the record, here are the two remaining tracks from the album, which are more third-stream oriented:

Swing, eh? Again, something that didn't cross my mind. I easily recognize swing when it comes via a band, especially violin/guitar/sax lead, but apparently not via solo piano. Hmm...
