Other 'Shellwood' CDs of music in the same genre

	Bugatti Step: Alex Hassan Bugatti Step is a terrific mixture of great syncopated piano marvels played in inimitable style by Alex Hassan. Isoldina will make you chuckle as Wagner winces and the medleys of Gordon/Revel and Robin/Rainger songs arranged by Alex are reminders of their heyday. Four American Variations On A Theme By Paganini is the first commercially issued performance of this exciting work by Lothar Perl. SWCD35
	Cy Walter - The Park Avenue Tatum: Cy Walter SWCD32
	Dizzy Fingers: Pianola rolls selected and played by Philip Legg SWCD33
	Fidgety Digits: Various Artistes inc. Billy Mayerl. Fidgety Digits is a fascinating glimpse at some of the best pianists of the light music idiom from the 1920s-40s. Some of these recordings are taken from incredibly rare 78s and all are expertly digitally cleaned. SWCD36
