WOW!! Molto Bravo! Excellent playing, rags are so hard to nail and you got it! Confrey made my head spin at 1:31 :) I've heard your Poor Buttermilk and that was my favorite but now hearing this, I think Confrey is my new favorite rag composer. With Jelly Roll, Joplin, Mayerl and Bolcom all very closely following :)
Piotr Barcz
It's stride piano but it is awesome!

Great work. One of my favorites by Zez Confrey.

The interlude at 1:31 is razor sharp as Ryan said, and the C part is as lavish as it gets. Terrific articulation and pedal work and great structure outlining. Can you play us some Jelly Roll Morton?
Michael Friedman
Fantastic musical performance !
Valerie McLeish
Fabulous, absolutely love it.

This has to be my favorite Confrey piece! I don't know if it's just the quality of my device, but are there tiny little "zig zag" formations in between each white key?
Piotr Barcz
It's just the crooked rendering of the pixels in the video.
Garklein
Yeah I think that's the quality of your device combined with the fact that the keys are diagonal to the top and bottom of the video.

IMPECCABLE!
