Frog Legs: Ragtime Era Favorites

Overview

Frog Legs: Ragtime Era Favorites --- 2008

This Kazoomzoom.com collection focuses on ragtime, an American music style from more than 100 years ago, a long time before the invention of CDs and iPods. Back then, sound was recorded into things like wax, resin, paper and metal. The paper recordings were played by instrument machines. The most popular was called a player piano, and most of the songs here are recorded from player pianos. Ragtime's uplifting and whimsical style is perfect as a happy and inspiring backdrop for playtime. For more about the composers and performers of these tunes, please visit the info pages for this release at Kazoomzoom.com. The selections in this release were recorded from cylinders, 78 rpm records and player pianos by tomrjim and Jonathan Aizen. Zachary Brewster-Geisz recorded "Maple Leaf Rag" using orchestra software. The Frog Legs CD is brought to you by Kazoomzoom.com, the world's first netlabel for kids.
