Zez Confrey (1895-1971)

Posted by MaryO on July 8, 2011

I just love Zez Confrey’s music.  It’s not overplayed like some of Scott Joplin’s works but it’s just as much fun.

This is a piece I have often played in recitals and just “because”

If any of my students are interested in tackling this piece, just let me know and we’ll start learning!
