Doug Riley, Tyler Yarema, John Roby
From penning jingles to arranging songs to playing backup for Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian pianist Riley has approached his instrument from just about every angle. His latest venture is "Stride," a spirited and authentic redux of the lilting jazz-piano style. Yarema and Roby join him for the lively mix of originals and standards.
What Is Stride?
In the early 1920s, dexterous pianists such as Luckey Roberts, James P. Johnson and Willie "The Lion" Smith developed a new style of piano playing influenced by ragtime. This difficult style featured a repeating bassline played with the right hand, while melodies and chords played simultaneously with the right hand.
Notable Artists: Fats Waller, James P. Johnson, Willie "The Lion" Smith
