Old Rag


One of Jarrett's better trios performing an original rag-styled composition by Jarrett himself. It's playful, swinging, and a moving tribute to the history of jazz's roots. As an eclectic player whose music reflected influences from just about every form of popular American music, it's an interesting example of how modern jazz conceives its past. "New Rag" is also worth listening, for a composition looking forward in an even more playful manner.
