Terry Waldo: The Ohio Theatre Concert
by Andrew Velez
No less a ragtime icon than composer Eubie Blake himself endorsed pianist, musical director, arranger and early jazz scholar Terry Waldo as being “an extension of my own musical self."

by Ken Dryden
One of my great regrets is not having the opportunity to hear Eubie Blake in person.
