Don't you love that simultaneously high and mighty yet pathetic and thoroughly wrong defense of "contend"?
You can't make this stuff up.
Steven Yeah. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. What was it about getting into a battle of wits with the unarmed?

Yes, he is very good. It may be the English, Neville Dickie of which I have 3 or 4 of his CD's.
Dick Hyman. Ralph Sutton. Cannot recall other stride players right now,apart from Fats Waller, Willy the Lion-Smith. Don Lambert.
I think it is called 'Finger Buster'

PS I was absolutely appalled at PPM's abuse of jazz. He needs to read the history of it and if he can't understand it. Learn about it. It of course is unrelated in structure to Classical Music and can be appreciated by people who understand both genres.

Are you talking about the stride piece? That's The Lion's FingerBuster. A personal favorite of mine. The pianist in that is Jim Hession.
Dick Wellstood is also really good stride composer and player. I'm quite fond of his arrangement of "Bill Bailey won't you please come home".
The other videos I posted were by Nikolai Kapustin. The jazz etude is quite interesting indeed.

Well and so it goes on...... Is somebody trying to wind up the true jazz enthusiasts. We jazz lovers do not spend our time putting down classical enthusiasts. Either this is a load of bull .....or serious criticism. I do not find jazz enthusiasts comparing us with classical music.
The two genres are incomparable.

I recommend that anyone check his posting history before casting their pearls before swine.
Steven Checked it. It appears he gets his jollies by getting people stirred up so that he can insult them.

I sometimes wonder the same thing about classical musicians. Why don't they learn to improvise, and improvise in classical as well like they used to in Bach's time. I remember hearing Mary McPartland on PBS's Piano Jazz saying how she would ask a classical pianist to improvise with her, and the pianist would look at her in horror and say no I couldn't do that. They were scared to stray from the written note.

Ed [/b]This is fairly jazzy, though - more jazz improvisation than classical improvisation. One other magnificent exception is Robert Levin, whom I heard in concert when I was a teenager. He would get the audience to write musical themes on scraps of paper, then pull a few out of the box and improvise on those, in the Classical style. (and at that concert, the very first theme he picked out was mine... I was so excited)
