@JamesPriceJohnson I'd say there are plenty of good stride pianists today. Paul Asaro, Dick Hyman, Mike Lipskin, Max Keenlyside, Brian Holland.. They are stride pianists by every measure of the title. Frederick isn't a stride pianist, so he's playing this tune in his own arrangement which doesn't sound like stride. Does Dick Wellstood sound just like James P? Heck no. But he plays one heck of a Carolina Shout. A great pianist doesn't emulate others.. which is why I am not a great pianist! :P

this is isnt stride.....just syain...
-
You are spliting atoms cause I agree with keeper1 Hodges has to be one of the better stride raggers. This is swinging and with accuracy.
-
Yes I recently found out about Sportiello and Mazetier. Both are extremely good. Someone should post more Fats waller done by Sportiello if he has done any.
I think Hodges is one of the best there is.
-
Everybody plays it a little differently. Even different versions by James P. himself weren't the same.
-
Eh? I was saying that fredericks version is better than the original... ('There was too much disruption to the beat'....)
Stride wasn't really called stride till later on really however. Something that JPJ invented and Waller (et al) refined.

Hodges isn't stride .Young Adam Swanson IS developing into a stride pianist though. Some of his recent work is excellent. This is superb honky tonk, but no more than that. No tenths, no running bass, just oompah.

@syncopeter No tenths? There are tenths all over the place! This is not Hodges' own arrangement; it's James P. Johnson's arrangement as he played it for a QRS piano roll. So basically you're saying that James P. Johnson is not stride.

alright, this is fine, but still. what is wrong with pianists thee days? they dont get the stride part in. its more raggy, instead of stride. this is one vid i can let go by. but, pianists dont have the light left hand touch anymore!! its terrible. but this is still a good vid

Being as this is considered the first stride piece, it follows that in retrospect it would sound more a rag than a stride piece. There aren't many people with a better left hand than Frederick... right hand either! I will grant that his technical perfection does perhaps make for a less spontaneous-sounding performance than one would expect from stride. His precise technique is best served on novelty music and popular songs of the '20s and '30s. It's great to hear his takes on this stuff though!
