James P Johnson made two rolls for Carolina Shout, this is the first, from 1918, made for Artempo. It is very jazzy and a bit dissonant, while by the 1921 QRS roll the performance had started to swing along in a smoother way.
This is the recut roll produced by Rob DeLand (BluesTone rolls). He had mad esome technical corrections to the roll - the original had been spliced into separate bits in the manufacturing process, and had omitted or duplicates various bars. They have been restructured by duplicating omitted bars and removing repeated ones.
Pianolist Julian Dyer, 1914 Steinway model O Pianola grand piano.
