Not Now Music The Very Best of Ragtime - Various Artists CD Jazz

THE VERY BEST OF RAGTIME

The combination of a strong marching rhythm with a syncopated, off-the-beat melody is what makes ragtime unique; that sense of a ‘ragged’ offbeat rhythm gives the genre its name. It is dance music – as your brain sorts out the on-beats and the off, you can’t help but move your feet. Musical fashions come and go, but it looks as if ragtime is here to stay. This collection has 50 joyful reasons why…
