David Chesky's album, The New York Rags, is a delightful collection of ragtime pieces that transport the listener back to the early 20th century. The album is a tribute to the golden age of ragtime, which flourished in New York City in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Chesky's compositions capture the energy and spirit of the era, and his virtuosic piano playing is a joy to listen to.
The album features 12 original compositions by Chesky, each with its own distinctive style and flavor. From the upbeat and lively "The Bowery Rag" to the hauntingly beautiful "Central Park in the Dark," the album showcases Chesky's versatility as a composer and his deep understanding of the ragtime genre.
What sets The New York Rags apart from other ragtime albums is the quality of the recording. Chesky is known for his innovative recording techniques, and the album was recorded using his proprietary binaural recording system. This creates a three-dimensional sound that makes the listener feel like they are in the same room as the piano.
