| 33. 1926 | James P. Johnson:
Carolina Shout (arr. Kenneth Cooper, 1985). Wendy Young & Kenneth Cooper, harpsichords; Robert Renino, bass; Mark Sherman, percussion. Carnegie Recital Hall, New York: A Tribute to Sylvia Marlowe, 12/10/1985). Harpsichords: Frank Hubbard (WY); Frank Hubbard-Edward Brewer (KC). With a thumbs-up to James P. Johnson, the acclaimed
master and perhaps the inventor of Harlem stride style, Wendy and
I acknowledged Sylvia Marlowe's lively interest in American jazz.
She apparently never played stride style, however, even during her
years with The Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street - her
forte was the Boogie-Woogie repertoire of Meade Lux Lewis and "Pine
Top" Smith. A sample follows. |
