Transportation Theme - Ragtime and Early Jazz Piano Concert:



Ragtime piano champion Adam Swanson returns to Albuquerque to perform the second WHEELS Museum Benefit Concert on Sunday afternoon, July 31.  The theme will be “Transportation” featuring ragtime and early jazz songs about boats, cars, subways, trains, and other ways we travel from place to place.  

Mr. Swanson is the only four time world ragtime piano champion (he was asked to retire because nobody else could win when he entered), and this is his second appearance in Albuquerque.  He plays regularly in Durango, CO at the Diamond Belle Lounge in the Strater Hotel.

You can listen, watch,  and learn more about him by visiting his youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/adamgswanson).
