Now, I'm pretty sure that I shared this one quite a while ago on this blog, but it's always a good Rag-Time example(which is also with Collins) from 1902: This one also sounds like is was recorded in that room at Edison that Banta is at the piano in, only by the way that the piano is balanced, and also by the sound of the room. This one is a real fun one to play along with if you're an ear player! Banta is just loud enough for the accompaniment to be clear enough to hear. To keep up with the fun Collins and Banta cylinders, here's another hardcore Rag-Time tune from 1901(that also some of you Rag-Timers may have heard somewhere) where the Ragtime is all throughout the cylinder! Also, don't forget that fun Rag-Time interlude at the end just like always! So this one is indeed a Ragtime number from 1900, but Banta makes it a cakewalk for sure, just listen at about 1:44 to 1:54, he does and interesting melodic pattern all in octaves in the higher register, and then into the lower notes.
Some Rag-Timers may have heard this tune before. Here's another Collins and Banta collaboration from late-1900:
I have not found a recording of this Columbia cylinder for comparison, but I'm sure a copy exists out there. But of course, Collins' already standing Rag-Time singer Len Spencer sang this for the Columbia phonographs just before Collins did the same year, with of course Fred Hylands playing his Rag-Time behind him, much like Banta. This one is certainly early recorded Rag-Time, and it is played by none other than Frank P. To start with the analyzing, this first cylinder is a very early Arthur Collins performance from late-1898: Banta is almost always on those late 90's brown wax Edison cylinders though, even if he's not really playing Rag-Time, it's still pretty obvious. Sometimes it's obvious, but other times you have to pull apart single measures on records to hear a specific difference. They also alternated the piano position at Victor and Zon-O-Phone, so that also makes it harder to know. This is why many record collectors cannot let go of the idea that Banta was on most of the old piano accompanied records, this was not true of course.īut Banta was just as good a Rag-Timer as his recording adversary Fred Hylands, but they stole from each other, so sometimes is can be a little complicated identifying who's who. He was record collectors' only choice for decades. If you heard an old Edison or Columbia cylinder a few decades ago, you would immediately think that it was the father of the famous 1920's pianist Frank E. He was the only accompanist on 1890's and early-1900's records who had a name for decades. Banta has always been a curiosity for record collectors and Rag-Time pianists alike, only because he was long known as the only house pianist identified on those old records.
