Artis Wodehouse, whose digitized Gershwin piano rolls became a
top CD 1-2 years ago, is giving a concert a Weill Recital Hall
(at Carnegie Hall) on May 18. Titled "Keyboard Wizards of the
Gershwin Era," it will be a program of Gershwin, Confrey,
Grofe, Bix Beiderbeck, Muriel Pollock, Rube Bloom, Pauline Alpert,
and Dana Suesse. This is all from a period when quality popular music
was still being produced for piano.
The first four on the list need no introduction.
Pollock, Bloom, & Alpert were pianist-composers whose
relative obscurity today is quite undeserved. Dana Suesse is new to
me, but given the company, must be someone worthwhile hearing.
Artis will share the stage with a diskclavier, which will "play"
some of the selections.
