Who can resist the laid-back charms of a Scott Joplin piano rag? Or the up tempo thrills of Art Tatum? Since its heyday in the early twentieth century, ragtime has influenced a host of jazz, blues and even classical musicians.

Rising star pianist Liam Waddle presents this enjoyable musical guide to this rich vein of piano works, taking in composers as different as Jelly Roll Morton and Claude Debussy.
