As Adriano said, Stephanie is a fantastic stride piano player and I don't know [Ab] English well enough to understand what's a stride pianist.
Can you explain me [Bm] and maybe someone what [Ab] is that and can you play something [N] in a stride style?
So here is Stephanie.
Thank you.
Well, this is just for Paolo, because I'm sure you know what stride [Bb] piano is.
But for him, it is a style of piano playing that uses the left hand to hit some notes in the lower part of the keyboard and [Eb] alternates between [Cm] a single note [Bb] here and a chord up here.
So the left hand is always going back and forth [Abm] between the lower and the middle [F] registers.
So in English, the word [Abm] stride [Ebm] means to take long steps.
And in the [F] 1920s in [B] Harlem, New York, [C] these pianists who played in [Bb] this style were known as [Gm] stride pianists like James [Bb] P.
Johnson, Fats Waller, even, [Eb] let's see, Donald Lambert.
[Ab] Art Tatum played in this style.
And there's another one named Eubie Blake.
He wrote some songs [Abm] like Memories of You, I'm Just Wild [N] About Harry.
And he was a great ragtime and stride pianist.
So I'd [F] like to play one of his compositions [Eb] in this special piano style.
And it's called The Troublesome Ivories.
And you'll get to see the [G] left hand do its thing down there.
