Tom Skovgaard plays swing, ragtime, boogie and stride solo piano, in the style of Fats Waller, James P. Johnson, Jelly Roll Morton, Scott Joplin, and others.
Tom Skovgaard spiller den gamle ragtime, swing, boogie og stride solo pianogenre, og har samtidig spillet i jazzbands, i rockband og været barpianist. Repertoiret i ragtime og swing piano stilen omfatter Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton, Scott Joplin, James P. Johnson og en lang række traditionelle jazz- og swingnumre. Bloggen her handler mest om denne musik.
Jelly Roll Morten was a great jazz pianist, composer, and arranger in New Orleans around the beginning of the 20th century, and he even claimed to be the inventor of jazz! I really like his solo piano pieces and his style – just listen to this one, it is one of my favorites: “Perfect Rag”.
