Oleg Mezjuev in action, Gustaf von Plomgren is listening. Oleg played classic and contemporary rags. He started with "Pork and Beans" (Charles L. Roberts), and continued with "Troubadour Rag" (James Scott), "Cotton Bolls" (Charles Hunter), "Jinx Rag" (Lucian P. Gibson; arr. Artie Matthews), "Roberto Clemente" (David Thomas Roberts) and "The Golden Hours" (Max Morath). As the ragtime meeting moved over to Gustaf's place he played "Blame It On The Blues" (Charles L. Cooke), "Haunting Rag" (Julius Lenzberg), "Sensation Rag" (Joseph Lamb), "That Hindu Rag" (George L. Cobb), "Odéon" (Ernesto Nazareth) and "North Star" (Brian Keenan). The ragtime meeting came to its end as he played the last chord of "Waiting for the Zenith" by Jack Rummel. |
