Wonderful as usual, great clean playing with excellent swing! Thank you for the kind words........... Hope our paths will cross in person at some point! Jim
@KingRat355 I'm with you. Waller's the one that got me hooked on Stride back in 1985. I heard those big, fat tenths, and that was it. Thanks also for including some of my music on your channel!
@likemyviolin This has probably been responded to already, but no - Fats used the same air in Piccadilly which informed Russian Fantasy. But the two are quite different, and Russian Fantasy has more development as a work on its own, rather than a movement from a "suite".
Thank you. I did not do my own transcription on this one. I refer to the web-site that I got it from in my video description. I really like the books they offer.
Very nice. The sheet music for this seems rarer than a four-leaf clover (or is priced horrendously in modern reprint). A picture on newarkwww.rutgers.edu/ijs/fw/people2c.htm shows the suite was published in the 1940s and wasn't just recorded by Waller, although I don't know how good the quality of the transcription was.
Cool video man, great example of REAL stride piano
Chris is the guy
This is truly great music! And it appears to be a very difficult piece and yet it’s played flawlessly!
That left hand, BAM BAM BAM, I love it!!!
@likemyviolin Love that Fats Waller recording as well. Absolutely amazing.
That's Amazing!!
Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

You absolutely kill it with those tenths! I've watched some recordings of you over 100 times just for those xD
Thank you!!!Very GOOD!!!

@robicool Thanks. I'm fortunate to have this piano every once in a while to record on. My up-right at home is no comparison.
@GoMusicTrip Glad you liked it - thanks.
