  • The fantastic keyboard artist Tommy Johnson throws some Stride Piano in as he plays his arrangement of St. Louis Blues. He was inspired to do this number after hearing a couple of his favorite artists: Jeff Barnhart and Stephanie Trick! Tommy would love for you to check these two fabulous artists out as well.

    Stride is my favorite--St. Louis Blues is my favorite--Tommy is my favorite. All this adds up to the most FANTASTIC listening ever. Your playing of ANY song brings absolute joy to my heart and a tear to my eye. THANK YOU SO MUCH for allowing us to hear your remarkable talent. You are just as much fun to watch as to listen to--you really FEEL the music and it looks like you have so much fun doing so.

    I love how you incorporate stride movement into your blues. My Dad taught me basic stride when he got me hooked on reading his sheet music collection (1900-1950s). Now, years later, I'm trying to learn the blues. You are my role model! Thank you for your recordings here on CZcams where I can see how your fingers move. What a treat to see and hear you play. All the best to you.

    Amazing! You can here the entire trio. Some of his licks in the top octaves sound like back up vocals as well within the arrangement which was beautiful. Love how he plays the upright bass part in the left hand and holds down the rhythm section & the melody with the right. Thats tough to do! That last series of licks right before the final walk down at the end is incredible! Especially that lick he played over the diminished chord in that sequence. Respect!

      It’s called the stride piano style: LH metrical alternations of bass & chords beneath RH melody & solo lines.

    Mathematically it is easier for me to understand Tommy's skills than Luca Sesak's.
    Tommy has had a few years to hone his totally massive skills...I just can't imagine how anyone can play like Luca at such an early age...but then again I believe that a soul never loses these crafts and may come back in different manifestations to play to different audiences...I don't know how to explain the level of talent both these men have
