Ethan Uslan is a 3-time winner of the World Championship Old-Time Piano Playing Contest. An authority on ragtime and early jazz piano styles, he has performed across the United States and Europe and starred in the documentary film "The Entertainers" (2012). "By the Sea" is his third disc for Rivermont and features a diverse selection of well-known melodies, by composers from Beethoven to Stephen Foster to Edith Piaf, all played in Uslan's highly original, inimitable ragtime style. His virtuosic arrangements draw upon years of extensive classical training, injecting humor and passion while reflecting his deep love for America's rich musical past.
