James Dapogny presents concerts of solo jazz piano from ragtime through swing. With commentary on the music's rich history, he brings to life a period when solo piano was an important jazz medium, a great tradition carried on by Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Teddy Wilson and Duke Ellington. Dapogny is also available to play background music performing the great standards of the 1920's, 30's and 40's - Porter, Gershwin, Kern, et al. Think of Sam in Casablanca.
