Scott Joplin Artist Snapshot:

Pianist Scott Joplin looms large in musical history as the creator of ragtime music and consequently the main inspiration for the subsequent birth of jazz. Traveling around the midwest, the Texas-born Joplin was the first to popularize the fusion of an African-American, blues-derived feel with a more European structural aesthetic--in layman's terms, ragtime. Starting in the 1890s, Joplin began publishing such iconic works as "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer," which would become cornerstones of American popular music. Joplin died in 1917, right around the time his innovations were being incorporated into early jazz.

Title Note

This excellent 17-track collection presents many of the finest compositions by early-20th-century ragtime innovator Scott Joplin. In addition to the lively, well-known "Maple Leaf Rag," the disc features other outstanding pre-jazz tunes by the Texas-born pianist, including the jaunty "Cascades" and the more restrained "Sunflower Slow Drag." As a document of American popular music during the first years of the 20th century, this compilation has few peers.
