A little racism in that thread too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of him though. He basically created Rag Time... the precursor to Jazz... Very famous... the piano trill in the movie The Sting is his music....clave it is called in Spanish.

Never heard of him though. You've definitely heard his music, Fats Waller is one of those guys that is right on the edge of someone we should learn about in school. We all hear about Sousa, Joplin, Gershwin, and not so much about Waller or Jelly Roll Morton and probably a bunch of other guys I can't recall, but those guys were right there and arguably just as influential. Stride piano, its a great sound. Darren Waller, unfortunately, only got an eighth share of his great-grandfather's talent. Which is still pretty decent compared to most of us, but doesn't a music career make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were the grandfathers of Jazz and sparked the Ragtime Movement in music before Jazz. Absolute Giants in music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually learned about early blues artists like Robert Johnson, Scrapper Blackwell, Blind Willie Johnson, and Mississippi John Hurt in college. Robert Johnson had abnormally long fingers.

Well... BYE... as they say in Tombstone... I feel for him however once a player says that they no longer have the fire in their belly it is time to let go and move on. He will never give his all... and is just an injury soak at this point. Let him go and reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
