Learn How to Play Early Jazz Piano

edlitenman — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:27:23 +0000

What is “Early Jazz” anyway? There are various strains depending who you ask. Some people think of Dixieland Jazz, Bix Bieder Bix. Who and what do I think of when I think of early jazz? Stride Piano. Fats Waller, Count Basie, Willie the Lion Smith, James Johnson.

A number of years ago a friend of mine turned me on to Stride Piano. Didn’t know much about it then. I got into it and taught myself how to play. How did I learn how to play Stride Piano?

I listened, listened and when I was finishing listening, I listened one more time. A thousand more times. Of course I practiced too. I’ll tell you my secrets next time.
