About Stride

Stride, or Harlem stride piano, emerged in 1920s New York City as a virtuosic evolution of classic ragtime. The genre is defined by the left hand’s rhythmic stride between a deep bass note on the downbeat and a mid-register chord on the upbeat, creating a powerful four-beat pulse. Unlike the formal structure of earlier ragtime, stride features extensive improvisation, swing-inflected rhythms, and aggressive tempos that showcase the performer's technical prowess. This influential style served as a bridge between traditional ragtime and the swing era, establishing a foundation for modern jazz piano through its exuberant, percussive energy and complex harmonic language.
