Title: Stride at its Best
Product review: This CD gives you a varied sampling of stride piano by a truly fine performer. Wellstood plays with authority, especially his left hand, as he effortlessly walks through the James P. Johnson numbers "Carolina Shout" and "Snowy Morning Blues". For players who want to really hear the nuance, the recording style (concert hall - far mike) is a constant annoyance. Would love to hear these pieces in a close mike recording to marvel even more at the talents of the performer.
