I'm great playing Scott Joplin music (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ragtime

'scott joplin music' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i'm great playing' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'im'+'great'='imgreat'
'imgreat' with letters rearranged gives 'RAGTIME'.

(Other definitions for ragtime that I've seen before include "Early jazz style" , "Form of jazz with a two-four rhythm" , "Migrate to find jazz music" , "Kind of jazz for Maigret" , "Syncopated music genre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
