“New” 1912 Fred Van Eps recording found !

[thereallyniceman]

I have just found a “new”, old Fred Van Eps recording from 1912.

I have not heard this piece before and I think that you will not have either!! There is an Ossman version, but I prefer Van Eps. I guess that is just something about the brightness and attack in his playing.

 

I find it amazing that these lost recordings keep turning up.  If you have any that are not in the JUKEBOX please let me have a copy for ALL to share.

 

The recording is a bit  “baconified ” at the moment, but maybe my audio editing friend will be able to work his magic on it when he hears it !   (fingers crossed)

 

Here it is George L. Lowry’s Florida Rag, by the superb Fred Van Eps Trio:

Go on, tell me that you didn’t like that ;-)
