With the rise of Billy Mayerl, further fine syncopated pianists are emerging. The South African-born, classically trained da Costa died at 29 in 1934 but she established a strong profile based on virtuosity and personal charm amply demonstrated here in popular songs, some with orchestra; a Liszt transcription; three pieces of her own; and she even sings. Good transfers from 78s.'
