Eubie Blake – The Eighty-Six Years of Eubie Blake (1973) Vinyl 2xLP
Eubie Blake was 87 years old when Columbia recorded this extraordinary double album in 1969, released in 1973 — and he plays with the fire and precision of a man half his age. A living bridge between the ragtime era and the modern world, Blake tears through his own compositions and classic standards with irrepressible joy, offering a rare window into the very roots of American popular music. The Eighty-Six Years of Eubie Blake is not just a record; it's a document of musical history.
