"[Brian] is a virtual playing compendium of ragtime and jazz piano. Not only is his repertory vast, but varied. Who else can cram into one CD rags by Joplin, Scott, Lamb, Confrey, Mayerl, Schutt, Will the Lion, James P., Fats and Jelly? Here are not only the master composers of ragtime, but the hard-to-play masterpieces by them." -Dave Jasen, noted Ragtime Historian

HAVIN' A BALL (2001)  BRCD102 - (CD ONLY)    $15.00
Jeff Barnhart & Brian Holland

Havin' A Ball is Jeff Barnhart and Brian Holland's second excursion into the ragtime age, with a new spirit and enthusiasm for the entire period.  We are given both old and new rags, blues, ragtime songs, bits of what Jelly Roll called "Spanish Tinge," stride boogie and the Kitchen Sink.  We have here an approach to ragtime that is largely improvisational.  As jazz built on a ragtime foundation, that spirit of improvisation and syncopated fun is evident in both the "classic rags," and in the ragtime songs which are infused with a jazz inflection.

Yankee Land • Easy Winners • Darktown Strutter's Ball • Heliotrope Bouquet • The Thriller • Rubber Plant Rag • Take Me to that Midnight Cakewalk Ball • Car-Barlick Acid • Cascades • The Old Maid's Ball • Dusty Rag • Royal Garden Blues • Ruff Johnson's Harmony Band • Hoosier Hotshot? • Belle of Louisville • Shoe String Rag
