Scott Joplin's Legacy and the Evolution of Ragtime

Moore Wine & Music Podcast

Step right up to the grand stage of history as we celebrate the life and tunes of Scott Joplin, the undisputed 'King of Ragtime'. I, Harriet Westmore, invite you into a bygone era where the syncopated rhythms of ragtime set the foundation for the jazz music we adore. Follow Joplin's remarkable journey from the bars and dance halls of his youth to his monumental success with the "Maple Leaf Rag". We'll uncover the man behind the music, his role as a ragtime teacher, and his innovative forays into ballet and opera. This episode is a heartfelt tribute to Joplin's enduring influence on American culture and the musical tapestry that has colored our past episodes.
As we wind down, let's raise a glass to the vibrant history of ragtime and the stories of resilience behind it. In the spirit of appreciation, I extend my gratitude to you, my dear listeners, for your unwavering support. Our shared passion for music is the melody that drives this podcast, and I'm thrilled to announce a little something to help you wear that passion proudly—our new jazz-inspired t-shirt design, a homage to this season's journey. So, as you savor the last notes of today's episode, remember to show your love with a like, subscribe, or even a donation.
