Author: Jed Distler
One assumes that the pianist Dickinson’s spirited and accomplished performances reflect the composer Dickinson’s wishes, although the pianist/composer/critic Distler would interpret the rags in a harder-hitting, brasher and more dynamically contrasted style. Not surprisingly, Dickinson’s booklet-notes reveal him to be equally articulate and erudite away from the keyboard and the composing desk. An enjoyable release,
highly recommended.
