Phillip Sear plays a Hollywood-style evocation of midnight from 1945 by the American pianist and composer Adam Carroll (1897-1974). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adam Carroll (1897-1974) was born in Philadelphia, where he studied piano, and started his career as a silent movie pianist. He first found fame as a maker of piano rolls for the Ampico company, and as a bandleader. You can read much more about Carroll's career here: https://tinyurl.com/y27jumuq . I believe that this suite was first performed at an event called a "Lambs' Gambol", a long-running series of vaudeville events organized by the Lambs Theatre Club in New York. . The opulent, slithery harmonies of this piece make it quite hard to learn for players like me, who were not brought up with this style - but few players are left who were active in its heyday.
