There's a real delicacy and subtlety to Johnson's playing- sadly too many contemporary proponents of stride piano seem to think that the trick lies in playing as loud and as fast as possible.
Awesome :D, I had been trying to find this recording for years :D
I watched a documentary on the "Performance" channel called "300 Years Of The Piano" and in the programme, this particular version was featured in it, when various people were talking about the old dance halls in New Olreans, etc, during the early 20th Century :)

Thanks so much for this!-- especially meaningfull for me, as it was recorded on the very day my dad was born (October 18, 1921).
