Eubie Blake
Berliner Jazztage, Philharmonie, Berlin/Germany, 4th November, 1972 (MP2, from recent rebroadcast)
"Today I'm gonna play the first number I composed, in 1899!"
Short, but sweet. Eubie was 89 at the time of this concert, but giving the impression of a much younger man.
In 1972 Eubie Blake was the last living link to the Ragtime tradition of the 19th century, and he had even more than ten years to live, giving concerts until he was 98.
