Player Piano Roll - Shaking The Blues Away - Ziegfeld Follies

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



Arranged and played as only the talented and unique pianist Armand Muth can play it, this Irving Berlin tune from the Follies Of 1927 is a memorable piano roll recording. Equalled only by the true Ampico and Duo Art performances, this wild arrangement on a standard 88 note roll was typical of Muth's work. His are some of the most original and unusual arrangements you will find on any 1920's roll. Sit back and enjoy my Stroud Duo Art Pianola as it renders this classic 20's tune as it should be heard.

  1. Oh, to be able to play the piano like this! (And, yes, I did study it, but there are innate limits to what one can do no matter what Pollyanna theories claim.)
  2. Thank you for this wonderful roll and playing.

  5. Love this song! And it sound great on your piano! Hope I'll have my piano player working soon!
  6. Excellent roll! Thanks for posting. Viewers may want to hear Frederick Hodges live performance of Shakin' the Blues Away also on the Tube. He out does the piano roll. If you love '20s style piano playing Frederick Hodges is a modern day master of the art.
  7. @HarborGuy I have lost a few precious titles in my time to tearing, believe me... but once I started gapping the flanges I was able to play some very brittle ones... at least once....
  8. You have so many great old rolls that are in great condition..........very lucky. Some of mine used to tear upon re-rolling.
  9. @pm0501 Thanks!
