Original Ragtimers

    Collectively, Bob Erdman (piano) and Phil Cartwright (banjo and vocal) have spent more years in jazz venues, restaurants, and bars than they want to admit.

​

    Those many years playing ragtime and jazz pay off in this eclectic collection of rags, rag songs, and early Morton.

​

    Their performances capture the intersection of ragtime and jazz and are a joyous celebration of that almost forgotten era of American music.
