Edward MacDowell's (1860-1908) most popular piece was \"To A Wild Rose\" from his piano suite, \"Woodland Sketches.\" Here is a profoundly sensitive treatment by one of the most underrated pianists in Jazz history: Nat \"King\" Cole. Oscar Moore's sympathetic guitar is breathtaking.
It was Ragtime that suddenly made MacDowell plummet from fame to forgotten. Of all the performances of this song, this one's the most affecting for me.
