Where it came from
Rags & Tangos, released by Decca in 2004, serves as a curated exploration of the intersection between Brazilian tango and American ragtime. The album highlights compositions by Ernesto Nazareth, a pioneer of the Brazilian tango style, alongside the works of prominent American ragtime composers James Scott and Joseph F. Lamb. This collection was produced to bridge the stylistic gap between the syncopated rhythms of the United States and the melodic, habanera-influenced traditions of early 20th-century Brazil.
The album reflects a scholarly interest in the global migration of musical forms during the ragtime era. By pairing these specific composers, the selection emphasizes the structural similarities between the two genres, showcasing how each navigated the transition from folk tradition to formal composition. The release was generally received as a thoughtful, academic contribution to the piano repertoire, intended for listeners who appreciate the nuances of turn-of-the-century salon music.
