6ft 4in Knabe Ampico B - Top Of The Town - Peter Mintun

[@PiotrBarcz]

So awesome that we have some rolls by such fantastic modern day masters like Peter! I've still yet to figure out if I can get one of those piano rolls Frederick Hodges recorded, they're the kind of thing you hear about in legends xD

[@petermintunmusic]

Not bad!

[@PiotrBarcz]

That's an understatement good sir! This is top of the line work!

[@robinpratt1516]

Sweet!

[@PiotrBarcz]

How's that cut of Hits Of The Day No. 32? :D

[@robinpratt1516]

@PiotrBarcz haven't seen it yet.

@@robinpratt1516 Nick's got the roll, he's had it a couple months I think XD

[@ClassicCabFrance]

This "Peter Mintun" doesn't appear on any Ampico artists list, is it a "nom d'artiste" ?

[@Yalie06405]

Peter Mintun is very much a real pianist and a dear friend. This was a roll cut later in the 70s or 80s? Here's a video of Peter playing it himself. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3zZZ61mjc2fgNUsi=VkZTcZZPt18ZGB_n

@@Yalie06405 Thanks for your precisions, and congratulations for being one of Peter friends. I do also appreciate Peter Mintun's unique playing and singing, by the way. I'm even able to understand his appreciation about this roll : "not bad" kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGqmh6qQibh9m5Y (James Dyrenforth-John W. Green) ! Do you know if Peter ever recorded more Ampico rolls ?

[@Yalie06405]

@ClassicCabFrance Peter also did "Waltz in Swingtime" and "It's The Animal In Me" which was a duet with Frederick Hodges. These were also available on Duo Art. All fantastic arrangements!

[@PiotrBarcz]

@@Yalie06405 Frederick did tell me the duet rolls were never released or something like that. Maybe they were but didn't make a full run?
