Search - Alan Feinberg :: Fascinatin Rhythm

This seems to be the last survivor of Alan Feinberg's wonderful collections of American piano music. It's a typically fascinating program, mixing music by people thought of as jazz composers (Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, James P. Johnson) with others considered "real" composers (Gershwin, Cowell, Nancarrow, Gottschalk). It's all jazz to Feinberg, who plays everything with gusto and affection, showing that all of this music belongs together in the same part of our music brains. If the concept attracts you, grab this disc now while you can, since Argo hasn't thought Feinberg's other collections worth keeping in the catalog. --Leslie Gerber
