Ragtime pianist Ethan Uslan plays Sunday at St. Alban's. Listen to an audio interview below.
Ethan Uslan was trained as a classical pianist, but that all changed when he ran into ragtime.
“When I discovered the music of the 1920s, it didn’t really seem that old fashioned to me in comparison. In fact, I think it sounds pretty fresh and hip,” the Charlotte-based Mr. Uslan said the other day.
Listen to an audio interview and clips of Mr. Uslan below.
Mr. Uslan will be featured in the next Music @ St. Alban’s concert this Sunday, Feb. 5, when he plays a two-part program: a concert of syncopated music from the jazz age, followed by a live accompaniment to Buster Keaton’s 1924 silent film “Sherlock Junior.”
