Stride Piano explained in one minute

Stride Piano explained by Canadian Virtuoso Jazz Pianist and Composer, Oscar Peterson 🍁🎹
.
.
.
Stride employed left hand techniques from ragtime, wider use of the piano's range, and quick tempos. 🍎
The term "stride" comes from the idea of the pianist's left hand leaping, or "striding", across the piano. Occasionally this pattern is reversed by placing the chord on the downbeat and bass notes on the upbeat. 🎶
Unlike performers of the ragtime popularized by Scott Joplin, stride players' left hands span greater distances on the keyboard. 🎹
Stride piano is highly rhythmic because of the alternating bass note and chord action of the left hand. In the left hand, the pianist usually plays a single bass note, or a bass octave or tenth, followed by a chord triad toward the center of the keyboard, while the right hand plays syncopated melody lines with harmonic and riff embellishments and fill patterns. 🙌🏻
Proper playing of stride jazz involves a subtle rhythmic tension between the left hand which is close to the established tempo, and the right hand, which is often slightly anticipatory. 🎙️
Unlike ragtime pianists, stride pianists were not concerned with ragtime form and played pop songs of the day in the stride style. Ragtime was composed, but many stride pianists improvised. Some stride players didn't read music. Stride can be played at all tempos, slow or fast depending on the underlying composition and treatment the pianist is performing. On occasion a good stride jazz pianist might have the left hand shift into double time. 🍁🎈🎹🔥🎵💎

So happy this wasn't clickbait! It's also a beautiful interaction between two of the greatest in their respective forms!
For anyone learning to play jazz piano especially, Oscar Peterson is probably the number one example to listen to.
God his left hand at 0:19 is relatively simple but I could listen to him do that all day.

Nothing simple about it it’s refined mastery.

So what's the difference with Boogie-woogie? Seems like both do the same thing.

There’s a larger separation between the notes being hit. Boogie woogie typically stays within an octave, while stride tends to expand outward.

Boogie Woogie and stride have nothing to do with each other. Stride piano is moving your left hand up and down the keyboard. Boogie Woogie is a blues played with a continuous pattern in your left hand that follows the chord scheme of a blues. You play Blues riffs over a Boogie, not necessarily in stride piano.
someone pls transcribe that lil part he played at 0:19

David Susskind was the only one laughing at his own joke. 😆

Oscar explained it perfectly. This is stride. Swing piano is just a broader term that encapsulates many genres...

@@jazzy_tracks Nope, that's really not true. Stride piano is much sparser and rougher than swing piano. Swing piano is what guys like Teddy Wilson and Art Tatum played (and Peterson though his was much more modern, so technically just jazz). James P. Johnson didn't play swing piano, Teddy Wilson didn't play stride piano, two completely different styles and very different applications in the music world.

Nope! Oscar was just absolutely insane! Watch him play 'mirage', or 'margie', or just any song he does. He's a complete and utter virtuoso.
