Johnson (1894-1955) pioneered the solo piano style while composing and performing in Harlem during the 1920s.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0What follows is a brief sketch of the conventions, innovations, and social context<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> that produced it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stride derives primarily from ragtime in form and content. Tunes comprise three or four independent, sixteen-bar sections\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">or\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">strains. The initial strain features the theme in the tonic<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">;\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">subsequent strains variously treat the original material or present new ideas.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">S<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">ections collectively called\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201ctrio\u201d modulate to closely related keys, typically the subdominant. Introductions and interludes of four or eight measures are\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">common. Regarding content, left-hand stride patterns follow traditional dances in duple meter, notably the march and polka. Hence the bass<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0often<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0alternates between low notes and midrange chords<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">;\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the former imitates the tuba while the latter mimics the higher brass and woodwind instruments of<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0marching\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">band<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, creating the oom-pah sound\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">associated with\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">folk music.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">However, stride represents an evolutionary step in the lineage of jazz, placing greater demands on the performer.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The harmonic rhythm and tempo<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">are faster<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0than those of ragtime<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stride\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">also\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">exploits the full range of the instrument. Finally, the style employs an array of pianistic devices, e.g., rapid scale passages, trills, and turns, suggesting that knowledge of classical idioms would be beneficial if not requisite to stride proficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Johnson\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">infused\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">blue notes and call-and-response gestures<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0into<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0stride<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Furthermore, the\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">rhythmic\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">feel of<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0his\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">style\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">was more relaxed than ragtime<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, approximating swing<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">H<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">eard in\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">the\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">p<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">aradigmatic stride piece <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cCarolina Shout,\u201d<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">these elements\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">allowed\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Johnson\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">to<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">connect<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0meaningfully\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">with his\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">audi<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">tors<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0at clubs and dance halls<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, many of whom migrated from the Deep South<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&#8220;The dances they did at the Jungles Casino were wild and comical\u2014the more pose and the more breaks the better.<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0These Charleston people and the other southerners had just come to New York. They were\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">country people and they felt homesick. When they got tired of two-steps and schottisches (which they danced with a lot of spieling<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">), they\u2019d yell<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">: \u201cLet\u2019s go back home!\u201d<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. . . or\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cNow put us in the alley!\u201d I did my \u201cMule Walk\u201d or\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201c<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gut Stomp\u201d<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0for these country dances. Breakdown music was the best for such sets, the more solid and groovy the better. They\u2019d dance, hollering and screaming until they we<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">re cooked. The dances ran from fifteen to thirty minutes, but they kept up all night until their shoes wore out<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2014most of them after a heavy<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2019s<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> day\u2019s work on the docks.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Johnson\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">also\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">cultivated the style while performing at rent parties in Harlem.
