Tommie Haglund - Hymns to the Night - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Speckled Red (Rufus Perryman, 1892-1973) was one of the most irrepressible and enthusiastic proponents of barrel-house piano, a style born of rowdy roadhouses and closely associated with boogie-woogie but louder and more raucous. Red-born in Georgia and well traveled-was a self-taught player, never letting the finer points of the correct chord interfere with his own enthusiasm for the music. This collection of originals, Red's only collection on Folkways, showcases his singing and rhythmic approach to the keyboard. Red provides introductions to most of his tunes, offering further insight into the artist. The liner notes further explain the nuances of barrel-house piano.

Regarded as a luminous, elegant and extroverted artist, Judith Jáuregui has become one of today's most captivating young pianists. She has already recorded works by diverse composers and periods from Debussy, Liszt and Mompou to Albéniz, Granados and Falla or Scriabin. She now joins the catalogue of ARS PRODUKTION with an album that is her first live recording to be published and a repertoire to which she feels a special connection. Born in San Sebastian, Spain, she has been linked to different cultures since her childhood with a Basque mother and a father who is Mexican by birth and French by adoption, Judith took her first musical steps in her hometown and would finish her studies in Munich, Germany, with the Russian maestro Vadim Suchanov.
