Recording captured from a piano roll produced in New York City in 1921 featuring James P. Johnson at the keys.

*"Eccentricity" was composed by James P. Johnson. It is considered a ragtime waltz.

The pianola roll serves well at preserving James P. Johnson's true style; containing a run through his latest piano rag of 1921 which featured an old school feel.

Difficult to play pieces like this one would undoubtedly often serve Mr. Johnson well during cutting competitions with other pianists.
