Body

Tom Roberts will be returning online with more records from his rare, pristine, shellac-based 78 rpm records. This time, we’ll be focusing on African Americans in the early recording industry. Attendees will hear songs from artists like James Reese Europe (who served in combat with the Harlem Hellfighters), Bert Williams and George Walker (of Williams and Walker Co.), W.C. Handy (Father of the Blues), Luckey Roberts, and many more. We hope to see you there!

Tom Roberts has been acclaimed as one of the world’s foremost practitioners of the art of Harlem Stride Piano. He has been featured at Jazz in July at the 92nd St Y, the Professor Longhair Society’s Piano Night at Tipitina’s New Orleans, Carnegie Hall with the New York Pops Orchestra, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and the International Stride Piano Summit in Zurich, Switzerland.
