If you watch Bessie Smith's 1929 movie, "St. Louis Blues", you can see a relatively young James P. Johnson at the piano. Kept good company.

Last.fm is doing James P Johnson a great disservice. He was an excellent pianist, but you've hardly got one of his decent tracks up on the system. What you do have are versions of the Charleston and "Old Fashioned Love" which have nothing to do with the guy. Johnson is up there, just behind the giants like Tatum, Hines and Waller.

I doubt if this version of the Charleston has anything to do with the great James P Johnson, who was a stride pianist, not a band.
