Let's Get the Names Right,
By
This review is from: They All Played Ragtime - The True Story Of An American Music (Hardcover)
It's difficult to understand how a publisher cannot get the authors' names correct. The authors are Rudi (not "Ridi") Blesh AND Harriet Janis; Blesh was always insistent that Janis receive equal credit.
The book, itself, is of major importance to our understanding of ragtime history. It was published in 1950 and its story has, in many respects, been supplanted by more recent research and writings. But it was an inspiration for ragtime fans from 1950 on, and remains an irreplaceable source for information about many of the original ragtimers interviewed by Blesh and Janis. Our knowledge of ragtime, its culture, and the history of that time, would be greatly lessened without this book. Ragtime: A Musical and Cultural History King of Ragtime: Scott Joplin and His Era
