4 out of 5 stars A worthwhile, enjoyable introduction to a little known genre.......2002-10-17

The organ is probably not the instrument which springs first to mind when one thinks of African American music, but the fact is that the harmonium (being much cheaper than a piano) was the keyboard of choice for black musicians at the turn of the century; Fats Waller played jazz - and concert pieces - on the organ. This CD presents 10 concert pieces, my personal favorite being the bluesy, languid "Summerland" from William Grant Still's Three Visions for organ and flute.
