Jelly Roll Morton’s Missing New Orleans is a
summoning of the past magical atmosphere of that now devastated city of
darkness, finishing with Birnbaum’s own “Dark Star.”
Hot Piano! is 77 minutes of joy, with works by Scott
Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Ellington, Scriabin,
Debussy, and Birnbaum, among others.
Together these three make a perfect anthology capturing the breadth of Dr.
Birnbaum’s artistry. Sound quality does vary between pieces, as some are studio
recordings and others were captured live in concert.
Red Hot Piano and Vocals in the Classic New Orleans,
Ragtime, Blues and Jazz Style.
