Pauline Alpert CD Available
By A. B. Bonds
Sorry if this is off-topic in the group, as a newbie I am still getting its flavor. Pearl recordings has recently released a disc of the work of Pauline Alpert, a keyboard wizard playing the "syncopated" style of the 20s thru early 40s. These are remasters of early lacquers and are in some cases rather noisy, but her style is extraordinary. I believe that it would be of interest to some in the group because it is much in the flavor of Adam Carroll and Edgar Fairchild, and I believe that she cut some rolls for both Ampico and DuoArt. The issue is one in a series of seven (I believe) highlighting similar artists, and is produced by Artis Wodehouse (take that at face value).
Some astonishing arrangements, some lousy sound. On sale at Tower this month at $13.99. No, I don't own stock in Tower.
