1	Halloween Party Music [Turn Up the Music] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.35! new only from $2.35!
2	Jazzin' Baby Blues: Hot Piano Roll Solos (1992) more music like this by Various Artists The historical progression of mechanically reproduced musical performance essentially began with the piano roll. Of course, most important piano roll music was cut before the advent of the phonograph. By the time the rolls in this collection were cut (mostly in the early '20s), the format had been eclipsed. Apparently not completely, however, as ... see all copies from $5.00! new only from $10.28!
3	Snowy Morning Blues (1930) more music like this by James P. Johnson James P. Johnson was one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, and in the 1920s was considered the "king of the stride piano." This Decca reissue CD contains a great deal of valuable music. Johnson is first heard on four classic piano solos from 1930 ("You've Got to Be Modernistic" and "Jingles" are particularly memorable) and then on eight ... see all copies from $19.76!
4	The Original James P. Johnson 1942-1945 (1942) more music like this by James P. Johnson The great stride pianist James P. Johnson is heard on 14 of the 16 selections included on this LP, taking memorable piano solos; two of the selections ("St. Louis Blues" and the first take of "Sweet Lorraine") are actually by an uncredited Cliff Jackson. Despite that error, the music is recommended because Johnson is in top form throughout, ... see all copies from $8.59! new only from $15.30!
5	Parlor Piano Solos from Rare Piano Rolls (1917) more music like this by James P. Johnson The great stride pianist James P. Johnson recorded quite a few piano rolls, starting in 1917. Biograph has reissued a few CDs of this material, which was mostly recorded off of player pianos back in 1970 and 1972. As is usual with most piano rolls, one cannot always trust that the music was solely performed by just one pianist; some of the ... see all copies from $10.28! new only from $10.28!
6	Black Legends of Jazz [Decca] (1926) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.00!
7	A Piano Anthology (1926) more music like this by Various Artists This CD contains selections from 20 pianists, all but two (Dodo Marmarosa and Bill Evans) who play in pre-bop styles. Taken mostly from the Decca catalog, the collection has many fine performances highlighted by Jelly Roll Morton's "The Pearls," Fats Waller and James P. Johnson playing together on Johnny Dunn's "What's the Use of Being Alone," Joe ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $13.91!
8	Greatest Jazz, Blues, & Ragtime of the Century (1991) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Boogie Woogie Blues (1922) more music like this by Various Artists Biograph has come out with many releases of piano rolls through the years. This CD has some by Cow Cow Davenport, James P. Johnson, Clarence Williams, Jimmy Blythe, Hersal Thomas, Lemuel Fowler and two totally forgotten names: Everett Robbins and Clarence Johnson. As is usual with piano rolls, the rhythms are inflexible and the touch a bit ... see all copies from $11.51! new only from $11.51!
10	Classic Jazz Piano (1927) more music like this by Various Artists While horn players often get most the glory, jazz pianists include in their ranks some of the music's most important figures: From Fats Waller and Art Tatum to Bud Powell and Bill Evans, the jazz keyboard community has forged some of the most interesting and enjoyable jazz advances since the '20s. Bluebird pays tribute here with a generous ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $29.95!
11 view cover	Carolina Shout [Biograph] (1917) more music like this by James P. Johnson This CD contains 14 of James P. Johnson's piano rolls (cut during an eight-year period) mostly for the QRS company. Although piano rolls generally sound somewhat mechanical (particularly rhythmically), this set is not without interest. There is a version of "Carolina Shout" that originally inspired Duke Ellington and a highlight is a song that few ... see all copies from $7.00!
12 view cover	The Riverside History of Classic Jazz [Box] (1921) more music like this by Various Artists This three-CD reissue of an earlier Riverside five-LP set gives listeners a perfect introduction to early jazz. The 60 selections are divided into ten categories: Backgrounds (including African music, a sermon and marching music), Ragtime (both piano rolls and solo recordings), Blues, New Orleans Style, Boogie Woogie, South Side Chicago, Chicago ... see all copies from $16.99!
13 view cover	Jazz Variations, Vols. 1-2 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz Variations, Vols. 1-2 is an enjoyable compilation but one that lacks continuity. Stylistically, this collection features an array of early New Orleans jazz (Jelly Roll Morton), stride piano (James P. Johnson), and swing (Jess Stacy and Benny Morton). While collectors won't find any rarities here, this disc works as a primer to entice new ... see all copies from $2.41! new only from $2.41!
14 view cover	Jazz Piano Anthology: In the Beginning (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Part of Delta's five-part Jazz Piano Anthology, Jazz Piano Anthology: In the Beginning kicks things off with an overview of some of the most important tinklers from the early jazz and swing eras. Most of the recordings, though, are not from the eras in question, including some '50s and '60s dates by Earl Hines and Teddy Wilson. This shouldn't pose ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
15 view cover	Victory Stride [Musical Heritage Society] (1994) by James P. Johnson see all copies from $18.99!
16 view cover	Father of the Stride Piano (1921) more music like this by James P. Johnson This LP gives one a good all-round introduction into pianist James P. Johnson's music although it does not list the recording dates. There are piano solos from 1921, 1923, 1927 and 1939, a humorous vocal/piano duet with Clarence Williams ("How Could I Be Blue") and four selections from a 1939 septet session with trumpeter Red Allen and trombonist ... see all copies from $8.00!
17	Giants of Jazz (1921) more music like this by James P. Johnson This three-LP box set serves as a near-perfect retrospective of the music of the great stride pianist James P. Johnson. There are two piano solos from 1921 (including his famous "Carolina Shout"), numbers on which the pianist accompanied Bessie Smith and Ethel Waters, some heated combo sides, more classic piano solos (including "Riffs," "What Is ... see all copies from $60.00!
18 view cover	The Gods Are in the House (2002) more music like this by James P Johnson/Art Tatum see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
19	James P. Johnson (1921) more music like this by James P. Johnson see all copies from $10.00!
20	Jazz, Vol. 7: New York, 1922-1934 (1922) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $10.00!
21 view cover	Carolina Shout [Collectables] (2007) more music like this by James P. Johnson Carolina Shout is an oddity made possible by multiplicities of licensing James P. Johnson material: a 2007 Collectables re-release of a CD originally released by Biograph Records, now owned by Shout Factory, in 1992, which was itself issued as an LP by Biograph in 1988 and later as a Musical Heritage LP. There is nothing different musically from ... see all copies from $11.66! new only from $11.66!
22 view cover	The Greatest Ragtime of the Century (1992) more music like this by Various Artists The happy, rhythmically infectious music known as ragtime flourished internationally between the late 1890s and 1920. During the genre's most popular period, 1910-1920, patrons could drop a coin in a player piano and hear the latest by Eubie Blake and Jelly Roll Morton. While both ragtime and player pianos have passed from the scene, post ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
23 view cover	Runnin' Wild (1921-1926) (1997) more music like this by James P. Johnson It is not until the final paragraph of the liner notes of this CD that it is mentioned that the set of James P. Johnson solo performances are piano rolls rather than recordings; nowhere does it state that important fact on the outside cover. The most interesting aspect of the reissue is that the great pianist did not otherwise record the majority ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
24 view cover	James P. Johnson & Coleman Hawkins (1995) more music like this by James P. Johnson & Coleman Hawkins Like several sessions originally recorded for Asch and later reissued by Stinson, this Collectables CD compiles two unrelated dates onto one disc. Stride pianist James P. Johnson leads a June 1944 session featuring mostly original material, accompanied by trumpeter Frankie Newton, guitarist Al Casey, bassist Pops Foster, and drummer Eddie ... see all copies from $16.39! new only from $16.39!
25 view cover	Spirit of Ragtime (1998) more music like this by Various Artists As the title suggests, ASV/Living Era's Spirit of Ragtime collects sassy ragtime songs like Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer," Art Tatum's "Tiger Rag," Louis Armstrong's "Weather Bird Rag," Fred Van Eps' "Ragtime Oriole" and Jelly Roll Morton's "Pearls." Standards like "Maple Leaf Rag" and performances from Luckey Roberts, Sidney Bechet and Fats ... see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
