@003 Bill Bailey, was written by H. Cannon. This old chestnut is played in the solo stride style of Fats Waller, James P. Johnson and Willie "the Lion" Smith. Note the
descending scale in octaves in the intro which leads into the stride style featuring the left hand notes also in octaves. This gives a heavier sound to the bass than just the
single note which is normally played. Many of the pianistic devices (e.g. bar 44) have been "invented" by the great early stride players, each adding their own little twist to
what had gone before. Key of F. Performed by: Miles Black. Picture of: Fats Waller.

@005 Glow Worm, was written by Paul Lincke. This spirited solo-stride rendition, with elements of Fats Waller and Art Tatum, is full of pianistic gems. Check out the simple but
effective intro and the delayed octaves (bar 21). Note the rhythmical use of tenths in a rolled style (e.g. going into bar 25). This tune was probably the most famous of the
many tunes recorded by the Mills Brothers. Key of C. Performed by: Miles Black. Picture of: Fats Waller.

@028 I Want to be Happy, was written by Youmans and Caesar. This trio interpretation echoes the locked-hand style of George Shearing, Nat King Cole, and Oscar Peterson. Notice
the deceptive cadence in the tag at the ending. This kind of device can add a feeling excitement to an arrangement. Originally thought of as a light and frivolous tune, it can
sound good when given a medium-swing treatment. Key of C. Performed by: Ron Johnston. Picture of: Oscar Peterson.

@056 Blues for Dr. John, was written by Miles Black. This is a solo bar-room boogie blues played in the style of Dr. John, Champion Jack Dupree and others. It incorporates many
of the devices and tricks which have been invented and passed down over the years. Notice the variation at bar 43. Key of C (of course!). Performed by: Miles Black. Picture
of: Miles Black.

@059 Ray's Mood, was written by Miles Black. This is a gospel piece in the style of Ray Charles. Although it is not a blues, this tune has a gospel-blues feel throughout. Some
of the pianistic devices played here were pioneered by the great Earl "Fatha" Hines. Notice the use of triads with "blues-ified" approaches in the right hand and the laid-back
rhythmic feel. Key of G. Performed by: Miles Black. Picture of: Earl Hines.
@060 You Made Me Love You, was written by Joe McCarthy and James Monaco in 1913. Here is a solo stride version which is played in an easy listening cocktail style. Many Art
Tatum-isms are present, such as when the tempo is seemingly suspended while a fairly impressive run is executed. Other exponents of this style are Dave McKenna and Oscar
Peterson. Key of F. Performed by: Miles Black. Picture of: Art Tatum.
