INTRODUCTION
Welcome
to Stride and Swing Piano! This book is an in-depth look at early solo jazz
piano styles from the 1900s to the 1940s. Many pianists know the term stride as an accompaniment
technique in which the left hand alternates between a bass note and a
chord in an "oom-pah, oom-pah" manner. But stride was also the label given to a style of piano
music that emerged in the 1920s. This was an early form of jazz that evolved from predecessors like
ragtime, blues, and New Orleans style, and culminated in the swing style of the 1930s and' 40s.
Most of the early jazz piano styles up to and including swing piano feature this striding left-hand
motion.
This book traces the evolution of stride and swing piano styles-from their predecessors to their
fullest development; each chapter focuses on a particular style and player:
Classic Ragtime: Though not jazz per se, ragtime was an important forerunner, serving
as a model for styles like New Orleans and stride. Invented by Black Americans, ragtime
emerged during the 1890s and was a strictly written music with formal and rhythmic constraints.
Scott Joplin was its most famous composer.

Blues & Boogie Woogie: Also invented by Black Americans (in the 1800s), blues
was another important forerunner of stride and swing jazz styles. A looser music, blues had
its own melodic material, accompaniment style, and rhythmic feel. Jimmy Yancey was a premiere
blues pianist; Pete Johnson was a well-known player in the faster, boogie woogie style.

New Orleans Jazz: In the early 1900s, New Orleans pianists developed jazz, a style that
merged ragtime with blues, and added improvisation. Jelly Roll Morton was the most important
early jazz pianist. He loosened the "even subdivisions" of ragtime and made jazz swing.

Stride: Stride was a fast, virtuosic piano music born in Harlem during the 1920s and' 30s.
Early stride,
ala James P. Johnson, was more appropriately called "Eastern ragtime" than
later stride, which evolved into a lighter, smoother music, as played by Fats Waller.

Swing: Swing emerged during the mid '30s with jazz big bands. The driving accents of
stride were ironed out, and an even 4/4 pulse became the norm. Teddy Wilson best represented
the swing style; Art Tatum took it to its highest point.

The one element that all of these styles have in common is the almost continuous playing of the
pulse (on every beat) by the left hand. This was accomplished by: 1) bass note vs. chord alternation,
2) the playing of bass lines, or 3) the continuous playing of chords.
Modern jazz piano styles have done away with the left hand's time keeping role [or the most pat1,
and contemporary players are often at a loss when called upon to play the left hand in an older solo
style. Stride and Swing Piano offers an introduction to the usage of traditional left-hand devicesincluding
characteristic chord voicings and bass note intervals, such as octaves and tenths-as well
as right-hand techniques such as single-note lines, chord voicings, intervals, mns, and improvisation.
Each chapter culminates in one or more original tunes demonstrating the style and its techniques.
Practice suggestions are also included. The reader is encouraged to learn and study these
tunes, and to apply all of the techniques in the book to standard jazz and pop songs of the era.
About the CD
The accompanying CD features many of the examples in the book-including 14 original tunesperformed
on solo piano. Listen to the CD to better understand each style and to practice your
own solo playing.



Early jazz had always been evolving on two simultaneous fronts-as a small ensemble
music, and as a solo piano music. By the mid 1930s, ensembles were changing. Jazz
bands were growing larger, into "big bands"-essentially, hybrids of the jazz combos and
larger dance bands of the '20s. Along with the transition from smaller to larger groups, a
"smoothing out" process took place in the music, and a distinctly new piano style emerged.
One crucial defining characteristic of swing* music is the evenness of all four beats played by the
rhythm section. The rhythm sections of the big bands used a bassist who usually played on all
four beats of the measure, laying down an even 4/4. This was different from the tuba or bass
players of older New Orleans style, who usually played on beats I and 3, with occasional walking
fills. The epitome of a swing rhythm section was Count Basie's band; they played all four beats
of each measure with such evenness and precision they sound like one person.
Swing pianists were caught between two worlds. Still rooted in the stride/ragtime model, they
began exploring new ways to establish the 4/4 pulse while freeing up the left hand. Swing demanded
a lighter touch and a looser feel; the driving accents of stride piano were ironed out.
Although the left hand still relied on an oom-pah striding motion, dynamic levels became more
consistent for bass notes and after-chords. So-called "walking bass" lines became commonplace.
The consummate swing pianist was Teddy Wilson (1912-1986). His playing represents the highest
cultivation of the pure swing style. Balance and restraint characterize his approach. Classically
trained, Wilson had a refined sense of touch. His technique was supple, and his music, subtle.
One reason for the lighter touch of the swing pianists was the use of the microphone; the earlier
jazz pianists had to pound on the piano to be heard within a group setting. Wilson gained notoriety
when he teamed up with clarinetist Benny Goodman and drummer Gene Krupa to form the
Benny Goodman Trio. This group was historically important not only for the great music they
created but also for being the first publicized interracial jazz performing group. The fact that this
trio had no bass player is a testament to Wilson's astounding left-hand technique and conception.
Wilson played solo piano in much the same way as he approached playing with a group.
*The term swing as used here refers to the style of jazz that evolved from the mid 1930s to the mid' 40s. It should not be confused
with the more general use of the word denoting the rhythmic conception associated with most jazz.
Left-Hand Techniques
Most of the left-hand techniques used by swing pianists were already used by the late stride players.
As with earlier styles, the left hand mostly kept time by playing the quarter-note pulse.
Crucial differences were that now all of the beats were played with equal stress, the touch was
much lighter, and the feeling was more relaxed. The hard-driving left hand of the stride pianists
was replaced by a steady, relaxed groove. There was also a difference in when and how often the
swing pianists applied each left-hand technique. These newer approaches are described in the following
pages.
