The great stride pianist
James P. Johnson is heard on 14 of the 16 selections included on this LP, taking memorable piano solos; two of the selections ("St. Louis Blues" and the first take of "Sweet Lorraine") are actually by an uncredited
Cliff Jackson. Despite that error, the music is recommended because
Johnson is in top form throughout, particularly on such numbers as "Daintiness Rag," "Snowy Morning Blues," "Liza" and "The Dream." ~ Scott Yanow
