Not enough people know about James Johnson. Actually, he was much more than "fatha fo stride," as he was known. He was an innovator and teacher. Duke Ellington was one of many famous pupils. It's a shame that while everybody has heard of Rhapsody In Blue, not many people know of Johnson's piece, Yamekraw - A Negro Rhapsody. Enjoy. "...it was me, or maybe Fats, who sat down to warm up the piano. After that, James took over. Then you got real invention - magic, sheer magic," Duke Ellington - back cover of "the original james p. johnson: 1942-1945 solos (one of the cds in this torrent). The title of this torrent is not from a CD.

LOVE James P. Johnson, Ulyana...and have been holding my breath waiting for reissue/remaster-genius to come along and put together the ultimate James P. Johnson box set. Having said that, though, I will VERY happily take what you have here on offer. Thanks once again for all of your jazz uploads...don't stop!
P.S. When you get a chance, can you toss up the discography info for the Nat King Cole set? Hate to sound like a scratched CD, but...well, tracking down that release info on allmusic.com IS the proverbial needle-haystack task!

Oh please will someone seed this. His music is so beautiful. I'd buy it from amazon but I don't have a credit card; or I'd get it from a store, but they don't stock it. PLEASE SEED THIS.
I registered here (finally) to say this:
Thanks, very much. We're reporting on the 1920's, and I could not find a download of the Charleston or ragtime music anywhere! Not to mention the fact that it's good music anyways. ^^
Great torrent.

James P Johnson was the best there ever was. I'm looking forward to hearing your compendium here. When I was young, I played some with the Louis Armstrong, Dorsey Band, Eddie Peabody, etc. Anyway, there was a piece Johnson used to play that some say was probably his finest work, set him apart from everyone. He called it "Steeplechase Rag". I don't know if it's lost now, but if you like Jimmy's work, and run across a recording of that, don't pass it up.
That piece I was talking about above, "Steeplechase Rag" is in your collection as "Over the Bars". Not exactly the way I remembered it, but definitely the same piece. Great. Thanks again.
I'm putting up the 2nd of these (3) CD's.."SNOWY MORNING BLUES" in .flac if anybody wants more 'FI
THX Ulyana, for this extensive collection!
