Stride piano

This section is dedicated to stride piano. This is a piano style that is related to ragtime but not bound to the strict conventions of ragtime. Stride piano continued to be played several years after 1930 but due to copyright restrictions exampels cannot yet be shown here.

The list below contains stride piano tunes composed by well known piano players like Ferd "Jelly Roll" Morton, James P. Johnson and Thomas "Fats" Waller.
