This rollicking barrelhouse boogie blues showstopper for late intermediate players is a huge success at recitals and other performances!
It’s 1917 all over again, and the new moving pictures are all the rage! Pianists and organists were hired to perform along with the movie, and James L. King III’s A Night at the Silent Movies captures this style in an epic recital-ready work.
