Joplin, Roy Eaton - Joplin Piano Rags

Review by Dimitri Hoppenbrouwers

The album Joplin Piano Rags by Roy Eaton is a delightful tribute to the legendary composer and pianist Scott Joplin. The album features Roy Eaton's masterful interpretation of some of Joplin's most famous rags, including "The Entertainer," "Maple Leaf Rag," and "Solace."

Eaton's playing is precise and lively, capturing the essence of Joplin's music with a modern twist. His use of dynamics and phrasing adds depth and emotion to each piece, making them sound fresh and vibrant.

The album also includes some lesser-known rags, such as "The Favorite" and "The Sycamore," which are just as enjoyable as the classics. Eaton's virtuosity shines through in these pieces, demonstrating his deep understanding of Joplin's style and technique.

Joplin Piano Rags is a must-have for fans of ragtime music and Scott Joplin. Roy Eaton's impeccable playing and interpretation of these timeless pieces make this album a true masterpiece.
