Maple Leaf Rag


Another jazz interpretation of Scott Joplin from jazz musicians out of the avant-garde of the 1970s. Anthony Braxton lets loose some hints of his contemporary sound while Muhal Richard Abrams continues to pound on the keyboard in a style reminiscent of ragtime and stride piano. This would have likely worked better with the addition of a drummer, bassist, and another horn player who is more comfortable with improvisation on it.
