	Luckey Roberts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luckey Roberts was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was playing piano and acting professionally with traveling African American minstrel shows in his childhood.
		Roberts toured France and the UK with James Reese Europe during World War I, then returned to New York where he wrote music for various shows and recorded piano rolls.
		Robert's reach on the keyboard was unusually large, leading to a rumor that he had the webbing between his fingers surgically cut, which those who knew him and saw him play live denounce as false; Roberts simply had naturally large hands with wide finger spread.

	Stride Piano
		Roberts was surprised by the opportunity, but so was Marsalis: by the time the pianist joined the ensemble, he had learned its entire repertoire from tapes the trumpeter had sent.
		Roberts maintained a busy touring schedule with Marsalis from 1985 to 1991, and appeared on virtually all the trumpeter's jazz recordings made during that period.
		Roberts also has a special interest in working with the blind, and has recently contributed his time to projects with The Lighthouse and the American Foundation for the Blind, two nationally recognized organizations for the vision-impaired.

		Luckey Roberts was perhaps the greatest of the Harlem stride pianists.
		Tom Roberts' excellent and comprehensive CD notes point out Luckey Roberts' accomplishments: the first Harlem pianist to be published--1913--and recorded--1916--and the composer of more than a dozen musical comedies beginning in 1911, several big band era hits, and symphonic works that were introduced at Carnegie Hall and Town Hall in New York City.
		Luckey took the slower version and eliminated some ripples, Kim Gannon wrote some lyrics for it, and the title was changed to "Moonlight Cocktail," which was recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, with a vocal by Ray Eberle, and became a top hit nationwide.

		After working in vaudeville as a child, Roberts moved to New York where he established a minor reputation as a composer and a major one as a performer of rags and, later, stride piano.
		Roberts made few records and most of these were early piano rolls while his later records were made after he had suffered strokes and injuries in a road accident.
		Nevertheless, it is is possible to understand the awe felt by such pianists as Fats Waller, James P. Johnson and Willie The Lion Smith at his astonishing technique, a technique which was greatly facilitated by his remarkably large hands.

		Luckey Roberts (1887 - 1968) was one of the founders of the Harlem stride school of piano playing, and one of its most virtuistic exponents.
		While "Pork and Beans" is a sensational performance of one of his stride showpieces, and "Railroad Blues" is a virtuoso synthesis of piano blues and the novelty piano tradition, the other four pieces are closer to ragtime that to the works of James P. Johnson.
		For those interested in Luckey Roberts and the history of the stride tradition, it is a vital purchase.

		I also transcribed the Roberts rags after my own first attempt at ragtime composition (see my "Opus 2"), and -- despite Mr.
		Roberts being a composer by trade -- I am even more convinced than ever that I can, with practice, do a passable job of composing ragtime music.
		Another relatively quick one to transcribe, the basic form of a rag is pretty formulaic when you get right down to it, and I am inspired all the more that my own compositions might turn out to be at least half decent.
