Stride traces the stride piano style from its roots in minstrel
shows and ragtime, through the contributions of itinerant
entertainers, to its joyful birth in Harlem, where it became known
as Harlem Piano. Stride developed over a period spanning World War
I to the depression years, though younger players maintain its
traditions today. It is a musical style marked by friendly rivalry
and shared pleasures. Drawing on the authors' personal interviews
and biographies, the book traces stride from generation to
generation, from the originators Eubie Blake, Luckey Roberts, and
James P. Johnson, through a succession of pianists like Willie the
Lion Smith. Fell and Vinding also examine its influence on Duke
Ellington, Fats Waller, Joe Sullivan, and Johnny Guarnieri,
concluding with third and fourth generations that include Ralph
Sutton, Dick Hyman, and Dick Wellstood. The authors describe the
exceptional Donald Lambert from personal experience. Throughout,
influences are traced and documented by way of CD and LP citations.
Stride finishes the tune with appendixes that itemize the
compositions of Luckey Roberts, Fats Waller and Willie the Lion
Smith.
