Nan Bostick and Tom Brier's selection of rags and marches by Charles N. Daniels and Detroit ragtime composers is the CD of the season­"Dualing at the McCoys" offers ragtime played with a the spirited, clear style they way it's supposed to be. Margery (1898), the recording's lead track, demonstrates the extraordinary skills of the CD's duet pianists; as Lewis Motisher, editor and reviewer for the Sacramento Ragtime Society notes, "Nan Bostick and Tom Brier's double-piano performance is so impressive that documentary filmmaker Ken Burns plans to include two cuts from this CD in the soundtrack of his upcoming documentary on prize fighter Jack Johnson."

Regular Ragtime Ephemeralist contributor Nan Bostick is the grand niece of Charles N. Daniels (aka "Neil Moret," aka "L'Albert"), the composer who helped Scott Joplin publish "Original Rags" in 1899. Again, as Lewis Motisher opines, "Nan and Tom play with precision and finesse in clean, transparent sound captured and reproduced via the latest, state-of-the-art version of Xytar Digital Sytems by Lou Dorren, inventor of same. The fidelity is superb." And we couldn't agree more. Order here; we promise you will not be disappointed.
