Big ragtime guy.
1970s ragtime revival -- that is.
He wasn't quite old enough for the original thing.

He orchestrated Scott Joplin’s piano score for his opera “Treemonisha.”

He orchestrated Scott Joplin’s piano score for his opera “Treemonisha.” A recording that I have. :)

music that drew on the forms and resources of both classical and jazz, and who was its most important composer, I suppose if you discount Gershwin, Ravel, Copland, Bernstein, Guilda, Bolling, Corea...sure, why not?

I'm surprised he was still alive.

None of those composers would be considered Third Stream.
