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.
