Scott Joplin Ragtime Master Review
Scott Joplin will forever be at the very top of the heap with regards to ragtime music. His musical contributions are, without a doubt, the very esssence of the genre and will surely continue to inspire generation after generation for years to come. This collection of his most popular compositions will delight both the newcomer and the experienced listener alike. Played by the talented and dynamic pianist, Bert Stinkle, this album will surely have a place in anyone's collection. Mr. Stinkle grew up in Essence Park, Illinois not far from Chicago and was influenced by the blues scene which was thriving at that time. After being exposed to Scott Jopln's music by a friend he knew immediately that this would be his calling in life. Having performed around the globe since the 1960's he brings a worldiness to this American artform that is seldom heard in the Ragtime format. The combination of Joplin's music and Stinkle's hands is truly a national treasure.
