Will Nash

Overview

Nothing is known about Will Nash other than his only published work, Black Cat Rag (1905) , which Trebor Jay Tichenor describes as idiomatic with its funky chromatics and phrasing typical of Midwestern piano playing.
Since writing the above in 2003, another piece, Snakey Blues (1915) was located in June, 2008.
