"Jazz Piano Improvisation:

 From Ragtime to Contemporary"

     This is a sensational CD that traces the development of piano improvisation from ragtime to the present. You'll hear everything from honky-tonk to boogie to swing to cool to bop to fusion. Not an instructional CD, but a great CD for listening and learning about how improvised jazz developed since about the turn of the century to the present era. If you like jazz, you'll LOVE this CD. (This is the only CD in the catalog where Duane doesn't play -- instead, he interviews a friend of his who is a recording artist and great jazz pianist).
