After watching this extraordinary performance I am not so sure about James P Johnson but can only say,in astonishment and admiration, Jesus Christ and Jack Johnson!

this used to be essential repetoire in stride genre...For me it's difficult to play it "lightly" as Johnson did, especially in final strain

This is a very challenging piece. It is a pleasure to hear it so well performed. It also showcases many of the technical innovations that stride made over ragtime. Glorious!

Is this one as hard as Harlem Strut and Carolina shout?

Somewhat, but the difficult thing here is maintaining the "groove" while keeping the rhythmic figures smooth.Even the simplest stride solo is not easy: the left hand must produce a solid,steady beat while the right hand combines melodic figures and rhythmic inflections to create a cohesive sound. Listen to Waller and Johnson's recordings to capture the essence of the stride sound...your ear must guide your approach to the printed page. The ear is a great teacher.

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. Mule Walk has always been one of my favorite JPJ solos, and the first one that I ever recorded(EBM6). James P. Johnson's perfection of the developing Stride style with particular attention to driving swing and use of dynamics, was truly unparalled. He is the "father" of us all.

Awesome!!! This is one of those plenty of "grease and funk" James P. pieces you don't hear too often. Keep up the good work!
