oh MAN 1:23-1:27 Luca superimposes Keep Your Temper over the rhythm changes bridge from the A of Handful of Keys - insane quote from someone who has been living and breathing the stride tradition for a long time, and clearly sheds his Donald Lambert with that crazy left hand clarity!

I'm sure only a handful of pianists could play like this! Fast fingers and even faster ears 🎹🔥

Emmet is an amazing pianist… But Luca Filastro from Roma shows him a thing or two… Watch that finger work… stride Piano… Wow… Thanks Emmett, for bringing us this channel!!!

[@ArgoBeats]

Luca is from Calabria.

[@stephenlangton6711]

@@ArgoBeats La Calabria è bella, soprattutto il mare… However, his LinkedIn profile and other online sources say he is based in Roma..

[@stephenlangton6711]

I just want to get the word out to Luca… I think your work is amazing… 😎

[@ArgoBeats]

@@stephenlangton6711 yeah man, he lives in Roma, but he is originally from Calabria (Vibo Valentia if I remember correctly). He is great.

[@marikouchiyama5869]

This clip remains me of one scene from the movie: “1900”. So I call this one “2023”. 👍

[@robertoverby7643]

These guys are good. But for stride piano style, speed and smoothness, I go back to the master: Willie “The Lion” Smith. He was a top competitor in the “cutting contests” in New York City in the 1920s and 1930s. And he was still just as good (or better) than these guys in the 1960s, on the Ed Sullivan tv ship - when he was in his 70s! Check him out on KZbin Music. A current stride favorite of mine is Paul Asaro, of the Chicago jazz group, The Fat Babies. Not sure if he is on KZbinMusic.

[@ArgoBeats]

if you like swift stride (and much more) check Maestro Rossano Sportiello out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZrHpap-f7VrjtE
