As requested,

This is the one I have (as performed by Max Morath.) -nms.- -ttos-

Enjoy!

I'm also looking for the music to Jelly Roll Morton's Maple Leaf Stomp as played here:

Yes, that video has the "music" but since it seems have been computer generated it is very difficult to read. I hoping a normal looking version exists somewhere.

THANKS!

Hi Lebowl,

There are 2 transcriptions of the Jelly Roll Morton 'transformation' of Maple Leaf Rag of which I am aware. The first was done by my late friend John Farrell. The second one supposedly traces to legendary ragtime pianist Otis Saunders, although based on the way Morton played MLR. I believe the Joplin-Morton-Saunders transcription might have already been posted here, but it is included for completeness. Hope these help.

All Best,

Frank

THANKS! Does anyone have any other versions? This one requires one to sing I Love A Piano since it has Morath's accompaniment to the song.

Thanks! The first version is exactly what I was looking for!!

CORRECTION! Although this has some similarities to the YouTube version I posted, it is unfortunately not the same one. I think I got so excited when i saw a few similar passages I assumed it was the same. S.till hoping someone has the one I posted.

Does anyone have Jerry Carr’s “Waltz of the Gremlins”?

Thanks.

I'm looking for an advanced version of Gershwin's Fascinatin' Rhythm but not his version from the Gershwin Songbook. Something like this version that I think Dannon transcribed for piano duet although it was originally a piano solo:

THANKS!

How about Hiromi's version?

Thanks, but if that's the one by the woman jazz pianist who plays a lot of over the top technically difficult stuff it's too hard for me and I'm not that enamored with it.

I just discovered James P. Johnson's catchy Bleeding Hearted Blues. Does anyone have the score? THANKS!
