Eubie Blake (1887-1983), the last ragtime composer from the ragtime era, is the older gentleman who turns the glasses upside down.
Yep he invented the “Charleston Rag “ I believe
So cool to see someone from Joplin’s time and profession living and breathing on video.
I was able to see Eubie Blake live!!
WAW!!!! I am jealous. I saw him, on TV, being interviewed for his 100th birthday shortly before he died.

Eubie Blake and Nobile Sissle: Shuffle along.
I love how the bowler hat guy both teases his opponents and has enough sportsmanship and respect to pick the stool back up for the other guy.
yeah, but... he needed to be standing up to see Joplin give him the cue over the top of the pianos. So he didn't need the stool immediately. But, your point is good
When chivalry lived
Awesome scene. As a pianist, though, I can tell you they’re definitely not playing anything close this this😂
i'm surprised there is ppl still viewing this at 61k views
This this
Just imagine you are one of the actors there pretending as if there's actually a jolly music being played lol
For some reason I got the same feeling when watching their hands. Then your comment confirmed my doubt. 😁 I play piano also.
I agree
I like how ragtime is portrayed fun and edgy on this clip, nowadays ragtime often seen as something nostalgic and somewhat high toned.
The rock of their times.
Makes you think about how what we listen today will be seen as in a century from now, doesn't it?
I was playing this music as a 15 year old in 1977, but am only just now learning about this movie! I’d have been thrilled to see it then!
But he created it .. (i play it as well ..on guitar.
Cameos by Eubie Blake, the greatest living ragtime legend at the time of filming!
Yeah. He was a big deal here in Baltimore. A living connection to a time long gone.
The author of I'm Just Wild About Harry...love Eubie Blake!!!
Harry Conick Jr. played with and studied with Eubie Blake.
Eubie Blake was on Carson's Tonight Show a couple of times. At over 90 Carson asked if he was married and Blake said, "Not any more; I done wore out 3 wives already." Classic.
As a pianist that plays this song, I only wish they had the hands playing this accurately because the bass part in Maple Leaf Rag at this tempo is truly awesome to watch!
How fun it would've been to be able to be at a night like this at this time! The atmosphere had to be pure bliss!! ✨️✨️
Actors are so good looking
It's amazing how the tune changes noticeably once Scott chips in to be more lively
WELL I'LL BE
FINALLY A HQ VERSION OF THIS SCENE! I REMEMBER THIS FROM LIKE 9 YEARS AGO, AND NOW IT BEING PRESERVED IS AN ABSOLUTE W
In the late 1980s I got Mr Joplin's tunes on midi on the Atari ST. I loved playing all his tunes and he was a genius piano player.
There was a CD back in the 80’s that used original piano rolls Joplin cut for a player piano. A few years later there was a similar disc that used piano rolls George Gershwin cut the difference was the rolls were fed into a Fairlight CMI keyboard so the sound quality was better
@@jennifersman7990 Oh wow that's cool info. Thanks for that my friend.
Fairlight CMI I bet it sounded amazing.
Scott Joplin, the first Pop Star.
I LOVE this movie. When I found out i could watch this in HD on amazon i was estatic.
6:26 that man makes the same laughing movements during the entire scene 😂
Billy Dee Williams performed an excelent Scott Joplin 👏
I remember watching this film when it came out..briliant and sad
2:54 when he opened his eyes like that, i felt his true concern
This quality is incredible. Where’d you find this?
It’s called film lolol
@@ozmond Not that. I mean the fact that it’s in HD. This is the first instance I’ve seen this film in HD, normally the quality is terrible.
@@OwnFall420 It's thanks to the film roll, it has an absurd quality, but at the time video devices couldn't reproduce it. But today we do, so we even have the first Star Wars in HD.
Hope you enjoy my long explanation 😅
This was upscaled using Topaz Video Enhance AI, I can tell by the artifacts it created, as someone who uses the program it's dead obvious.

Finally this scene in good quality. Thanks
It's all compositions of Scott Joplin who created Ragtime."Ragtime, also spelled rag-time or rag time, is a musical style that had its peak from the 1890s to 1910s. Its cardinal trait is its syncopated or "ragged" rhythm. Ragtime was popularized during the early 20th century by composers such as Scott Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb. Ragtime pieces (often called "rags") are typically composed for and performed on piano". Some of his pieces are The Maple Leaf Rag, Stoptime Rag , and The Ragtime Dance.
Nice copy and paste from Wikipedia….🙄😏👌🏾
And the Entertainer
Not necessarily all of Joplin's compositions to lead to the creation of Ragtime! 🤭
In fact, Ragtime had already existed well before Joplin's time. 😌
He just so happened to be one of the biggest individuals to popularize it to what it has become today.
@@SpiritMover314🤣
They thought that syncopated ryhthms would make people crazy by the way it effected the brain. They were right! Its so fun! 🐭
And this is how Lando lost the Millennium Falcon to Han Solo.
I knew I had seen that guy somewhere before
Lol
LOL Exactly !! Then he got together with Darth Vader in "The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars & Motor Kings"
I remember learning about ragtime in elementary school. My algorithm is fire 😂
Scott Joplin is 9 of Hearts ❤️💕💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 Happy Birthday to Scott Joplin the King 👑 of Ragtime and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
amazing scene... what history!
Awesome video quality!
That's wonderful ❤
Amazing scene.
lovely.
Шикарно!! Спасибо за удовольствие! Очень люблю рзгтайм🥰
FYI he played what he was asked to play in B flat, not in A flat. Then he played Maple Leaf Rag in A flat of course.
Exactly
Of course
Which is Poet and Peasant overture by Suppe (b flat is the original key )
I struggle with key names and notes and relations. Cb, B#, etc...
I've been called a "Jailhouse Singer". Behind a few bars hunting for a key.
The second to last player reminds me of Clarence Williams who played against 1900 in the movie The Legend of 1900.
Super❤
Maestro Scott Joplin El Rey
History in the making folks!

3:28 oh man just wonderful
What's the name of the piece

@@EddyPanda1pretty sure it’s maple leaf rag. I don’t know for sure
@meren_07 from 4.55 it's the wonderful maple leaf Rag
I'm the guy at 4:40 noding his head and approving Chauvin's entrance
Even if I was white back then I'd be in that bar so quick smiling and tapping my feet 😃
Fr I’d be vibin and cheering
Me, too!
muy bueno
Perfect time to have fun😂 😂😂
This would be amazing to try out
1:20 Sir in the top left corner: The bathroom is upstairs on your right.
Son unos verdaderos artistas, en todos los sentidos
It’s all about
Ragtime 😊
They dont make movies like this anymore... 😮
Man's about to jazz June.
The origins of Cantina music.
Lando Carlrissian was taking a break from the Empire.
nice
❤❤❤
3:43, true music.
Queria saber tmb
Un grande
Un pequeño
Un Mediano
How great true talent was back then...Even in the midst of segregation and lynchings😢
Moments of elation and ecstasy to contrast with repression, horror, tragedy. Similar to musicians entertaining while the Titanic as sinking or people being escorted to the gas chambers at Auschwitz. My favorite is Hitchcock's Sabotage where the mother joins in the laughter during the cartoon just after her child is incinerated.
What is name of music when scott starting to play piano???
Thiwas used as marioland 2 on gameboy. Now a all generation loves ragtime stride piano
this is bacana
This is giro
For the real thing watch Fats Waller playing Ain't Misbehavin'...I think a lot of this is based on that piece of film, including the man's rejection early in the video.
Because of the angle of the thumbnail, the man looks like he looks like Mr. Bean. 😂
lol I can totally see it! 🤣😂
Lando can really play!
So this is how Lando Calrissian lost the Millennium Falcon
Did Eubie Blake ask Scott Joplin to play Poet and Peasant's overture by Franz von Suppe?
Billy Dee Williams also played Lando Calrissan in Star Wars
Who was the other actor playing with him? He's so familiar, but I can't think of his name.
Clifton Davis
@alphonsoalexander327 is he also in star wars?
@@bayareacertified no
The TV shows Amen and That's My Momma
Those 2 kids were The World's First Break Dancers (tell me im lying)
Check out a black and white clip of the Mills Brothers, and you'll see break dancing over 60 years ago
I was wondering if they were supposed to be the Johnson Brothers. :)
Maybe the Nicholas Brothers? Or was this too early?
@@troy8579 Yes, the Mills Brothers Caravan.
If you wanna see a proper piano battle, check out that Tim Roth movie, i forget the name tho. But that clip is on youtube
The Legend Of 1900
American 🎉🎉🎉❤jmn
I remember when those 2 were the heart throbs of Black women ...the 70s!
👍💯⭐💙
The absolute best piano dueling scene is from the Movie “Legend of 1900” one of favorites check it out
Is there anywhere I can get a version of this song without the voices? Very fun piano piece
And check out the fingerbreaker of Jelly Roll Morton in the great movie: 'The legend of 1900'!

So, this is what rap battles were like before...
El Ragtime , después Dixdilean, y luego Jazz .creo que así fue.

Does anyone know the song at 3:28?
Poet and Peasant Overture.
@@logantaylor8643it's not
@@montanaricello I think you’re right, I listened to it again and it’s the wrong part, but I’m curious, do you know what it is?
@@logantaylor8643 I would like to know as well!
What is it the older guy asks him to play? Port Pleasant overture? Or more specifically, what is the piece he is playing at 3:29?
Poet and peasant overture
Yeah I thought so, some other comments said it, but I listened through various different versions and didn't find the part that he played in the scene, and that's what I'm really after. @@farescasillasprasojo1125
@@farescasillasprasojo1125 Thank you for that. The auto-captions could never capture that accent and I've been dying to figure out the tune's name.
@@LuficariusRatspeed no problem
What was the last piece (it's very familiar), and if it was by Joplin, why did they use that?
Who's heard that music? No one. Only everyone in the club did
Lando from Cloud City in Star Wars plays the piano?
Duffy Duck Vs Donald Duck
Oh no
okay, but that transition was *NASTY* tho (in a good way)
Was the scene from Roger Rabbit a sort of reference to this?
Maybe
Yeah but its The Hungarian Rhapsody No.2
@@victorisaacbabia.c.2611 Which goes back to Tom & Jerry and/or Warner Bros
What is the significance of turning the glasses upside down?
It's like living inside a Shakey's pizza
Did Joplin give a dime to those boys?
Notice the owner did not kick out Scott Joplin
what an amazing scene! anyway, the actors' finger movements do not match at all the music 8-). ragtime piano sounds super swinging and leightweight, but is brutal heavy to play.
3:28 can someone tell me the name of the peice that he is playing
Poet and Peasant Overture by F. Von Suppe
@@alexcom_it's not
@@montanaricello Apparently not. Apologies. It's the later one.
Does anyone know what song is being played at Chauvin’s entrance?? Sounds familiar yet can’t remember where it’s from. It can be heard at 4:41
Also I’m taking about the tune played from 4:41-4:55.
It’s more like 4:41 to 4:53 tbh

Ragtime movies?
Looks like Shia LeBouf's dad standing next to Billy D.
Is that Lando?

And then Hans Solo walked into the bar and a fight broke out.

What’s the song at 3:44?
The Poet and Peasant Overture
eeeh... ta udawna gra na klawiszach w filmach...

If you had more culture you'd realize that this whole scene looks like a rap battle/or a jazz/gospel cutting match to a T
Billy Dee: "It's a piano-off. A piano-off."
Turk: "Lando."
Everybody and their kid brother learned how to play Maple Leaf Rag back in 1977 because it was only a few years after The Sting came out and made it famous. I can even play it faster than this guy....and as accurately if not more.
It's not hard to play Maple Leaf Rag fast, but let me tell you something, it's hard to play it fast and make it sound GOOD!
True that.@@PiotrBarcz
