![]() Johnson's difficult rags are played with a slight sense of reckless abandon. Impetuous, loose, and driving, Albright's interpretations of James P. While they did write one rag together and were close friends, to judge from this disc, Albright was an entirely different animal from Bolcom. Bolcom's Joplin playing has the advantage of being clean, even, and respectful without quite subscribing to the Joshua Rifkin interpretation of Joplin's mandate that "it is not right to play ragtime fast." Bolcom's tempos are brisk without racing - which was probably what Joplin was militating against in the first place - and are not leaden and under-syncopated, which Rifkin's often were. By April 2009, more than three decades had elapsed and practically every note with Joplin's name attached to it has been recorded numerous times in a bewildering array of choices. Ultimately, this disc resurfaced on MusicMasters and Musical Heritage Society Jazz Heritage Society is the jazz-oriented label belonging to MHS.Īt the time this was made at the University of Michigan's Hill Auditorium in June 1975, Joplin's collaborative rags - works co-written with other composers, achieved through alternating strains - were relatively rare, and Bolcom had already given this subgenre a shot in the arm in 1971 through recording the album Heliotrope Bouquet for Nonesuch. There was a time when Ann Arbor, MI, was a flashpoint for traditional jazz and ragtime in the 1950s, the Boll Weevil Jazz Band was a hot ticket, and figures like Bolcom and Albright were major players in the ragtime revival of the 1960s and 1970s. Johnson works, respectively it originally appeared as an LP on the University of Michigan label in 1976. or not.Jazz Heritage Society's Ragtime is yet another edition on CD of a very well traveled recording once issued under the title of Ragtime Back to Back it features the back-to-back talents of pianist/composers William Bolcom and William Albright in Scott Joplin and James P. even if you are a hardcore fan of the games. one thing is for sure: the chemistry between the two leads is incredible! Try to enjoy this for what it is. ![]() ![]() Not all twists work, but even the weird choice for Wahlberg as Sully actually can work for the viewer (again: suspension of disbelief). There's enough entertainment and action in this to keep you on the edge of your seat. again, you have to get over certain things. Also Holland still seems so incredibly young you may feel he's too young. which you'll either find fine or disturbing I guess. Drakes and Sullys relationship is explored or rather established in a different light and tone. ![]() I reckon since he was considered for the Nathan Drake part (which I guess tells you how long this must have been in development, no offense), they thought "well at least he can play this mentor role". Holland aside, it is Wahlberg who seems missplaced as Sully. that was sort of a copy of the games - which would not make much sense in my book to be honest. Some may be dissapointed, because they expected something. Some might even say it takes on too much. ![]() The movie tries to incorporate as many references to the games as it can, while covering as much ground as it can. Let's keep it real: this is as losely put together as is possible. ![]()
