JOSEPH F. LAMB'S
STARK & Co. RAGS

This digital compact disc of Joseph F. Lamb's music is a sparkling record, played by the inestimable pianist known for his work with various members of the Dutch "Beau Hunks" orchestra. Sporting all twelve of the rags published by John Stark from 1908 to1919, it also includes full color reproductions of all of the sheet music covers, very graciously supplied by Dr. Elliott Adams, not to mention 16 pages of liner notes by Mr. Galen Wilkes, predicated upon personal interviews with Amelia Lamb and Patricia Conn -- Lamb's widow and daughter, respectively. Mr. Nielsen plays the rags in a clear, unaffected style, allowing all of the brilliance of the original compositions to shine through, without excessive rubato or romanticism. Certain to be a useful addition to anyone's personal library. Recorded in crystal clear digital stereo, melted into receptive polymer, and carefully indexed in binary code for accurate playback on your home setup.Contact Basta Records or call 1800 Ask Tower to order.
