CALIFORNIA HERE I COME | Stephanie Trick

[@brorsandberg8142]

To hear and see today's best Stride pianist Stephanie Trick in action is a feast for all senses! Her accuracy, charm, intensity and melodic turns is a memory for life! One of Today's Best Allround Pianists - of many called the "Queen of Stride" !! Long live the Queen!

[@DavidMiller-bp7et]

Stride, indeed! All the tools of musical expression on that piano. What a gifted musician and player. Uber entertaining. Who wouldn't love this from superb and unique showperson.

[@larrydewein]

I grew up hearing Al Jolson, considered the World's Greatest Entertainer at the time, sing this and this is considered 'his song' by that generation!

[@drewburgess3039]

Thank you Stephanie, fantastic spirit for our beloved California!!

[@IVORIESMAN]

Thank goodness Stephanie’s around to remind us this music is still out there...

[@paulfavour7790]

Made me smile - thanks!

[@pensionataarrabbiata2995]

Una esecuzione che pur cominciando in modo tradizionale si trasforma in un ritmo brioso e travolgente che lascia stupiti ed ammirati!!!

[@BonnieRogers-i1j]

Stephanie, I am a native daughter of Sacramento, California and therefore I like hearing one of my favorite songs being played by you. You have such great talent. Enjoy your special time by bringing happiness to people around the world.

[@v.flores5659]

there needs to be an "applause" button on here!!!!

[@williamscampton7183]

Very snappy and jazzy. I could watch and listen to you play all day. I truly like your style.

[@EPIGNOSIS777]

This girl is a miracle.

[@jeremypreece870]

I have only just noticed this video and can't think how it slipped by me. I love this performance and I can honestly say that was well worth waiting 8 months for.

[@MusicIsKryptonite]

I don't know about anybody else but I find my self standing, applauding and screaming Bravo after each video.

[@epalleja]

The best piano version of "California..." I´ve ever heard till now. Bravo, Stephanie

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you so much, Ezequiel!!

[@hewie2u]

Nicely played . This was a Ralph Sutton favorite

[@Fats051]

Wow! I lived in California years ago. After listening to this wonderfully played tune, I am going to fly back!!!

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thanks so much! That's great that it has inspired you to want to fly back to California 😊

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

I could listen to this for hours!

[@MildredGlutz]

Such a great song! Played by a master!❤

[@raymondbiller2257]

As much as I enjoy the two of you playing 4 hands, I really LOVE your stride solos Stephanie. I think I am going to really enjoy this new KZbin channel.

[@surfinia2]

I couldn't agree more!! Btw I miss some of Fat Waller's stride..!😉

[@domiranoux8303]

Juste un génie du piano jazz

[@Jimgoodwin846]

Amazing…love to watch her hands.

[@chromedome2378]

Amazing skills!

[@stewslam]

Stephanie “The Lion” Trick : a supreme swingster !!! I love your playing !

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you so much, Arnie!

[@philabrian]

Bravo!

[@HarveyEvans-sr4sg]

Breathtaking

[@RonLWilson]

Awesome!

[@bobd6711]

So much flavor! Don’t even like the song, but that version rocks!

[@annrichards2797]

Hi. Quite often I have your videos on my computer watching and listening as they give me so much pleasure. , Many people have also commented when they come in on the beautiful music and you renditions. Please keep them coming. Thank you so much.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

That's great, thank you so much! We'll continue posting more videos here! So glad you're enjoying them!

[@ЭльвираЧабан-щ8к]

Шикарно......Умница.....

[@paolobozano4125]

What a gracefull and delightfull performance! Not only so talnted but so also so cute! Bravissima

[@giljeep]

superbe magnifique, on voue écouterait pendant des heurs!!!!! merci beaucoup

[@jonthomassings5003]

Love the music you are playing. Playing music is so much better with a live audience, especially when the music is good. Hoping live venues will be possible again soon and that you will tour the west coast like California. Please let us fans know if that might happen. Love your style, Jon

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Will do for sure!! I hope that it will be possible to perform in California again soon! Thanks so much!

[@BuzzSargent]

I had not heard anyone play that song in ages! Back when California was wild, free, and proud to be part of the USA. Sounds so good.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you so much!

[@PUAlum]

Believe it or not, we're still proud to be part of the USA. But maybe "blessed" is abetter word. Pride seems to fit accomplishments better. But she's great!!

[@StudyCom]

You mean back when the US stole it from Mexico, I guess.

[@peterbedford380]

Just how good is this fantastic

[@jimh.8138]

It’s so good I get those old goosebumps while listening. Can’t think of any higher praise, lol.

[@michaelcraig9449]

This gal is rockin!

[@KingRat355]

Thank you for being invited to your home playing fantastic stride! This a great move!

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

😊

[@nickk8416]

My god! That left hand!! So relaxed....maybe one day I can do that. Love it.

[@davidmcclellan9621]

Fantastic 😃😃😃😃😃.

[@Rainerjgs]

So gut, so hübsch und auch noch so lieb! Vielen herzlichen Dank, liebe Stephanie, denn ich habe selten so viel Freude bei einer Klaviermusik gehabt!

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Vielen Dank!!

[@willyebert236]

I have followed you through some years and I may say you amaze me! I have only one word for it: BRILLIANT !!

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you so much, Willy!

[@ragtimeKG]

I think I just found my new favorite KZbin channel. I love the beautiful setting too!

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Happy that you like it here! 😊

[@mark.j.edwards]

Fabulous music and excellent playing, thanks!

[@joeskeptical4762]

*_Great, great performance of a true American classic!_* (Too bad so few people today actually feel this way about the once great state....) *WELL WELL DONE*

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you so much!

[@njtreefarm]

You are my all time favorite artist ❤😊

[@josiah566]

Fantastic! I hear so much of your appreciation of Lambert's giddy right hand rhythm against the confident left hand spurring it on. Such a great take.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate this! I love that tension in Lambert's playing!

[@PUAlum]

Thank you for posting this! Fantastic rendition. Made me a bit sad (again) that the CA TV host Huell Howser is no longer with us. That was his show's theme song. I sent him fan e-mail with a few versions....got very kind replies. He would have loved this!

[@borisaizenberg7115]

Charming! Восхитительно! Thanks for pleasure.

[@jasonvaughan2920]

Stephanie please bring back "Hallelujah" and "Nothin"! I would love to hear either solos or duets on those. They were a couple of my favorites! Thanks for the great music!

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thanks for the nice comment! I love those pieces and that’s a great idea to revive them! 😊

[@alexishernandez9310]

Best stride piano!!!

[@billroberts4012]

Stephanie, very nice

That's great, so glad you're enjoying the new channel! Thanks so much! 😁

[@FreeAnalyst]

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much Stephanie.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you!!

[@mobywang2]

Stephanie, Have you heard Huell Howser of KCET's "California GOLD" on PBS. He' would invite you to his program to play this theme sound and be very proud of you! But he passed away in 2013! You are fantastic! Love to hear you play! Reminiscing Shakey's Pizza Parlor

[@peterkohout7901]

I get dizzy watching your hands. Awesome.

[@josephbernstein1250]

Just great stuff. Such an energetic version of this song.

[@Inspectoryoung]

I need more Stephanie solos!

[@Geronimo122]

Bravo-- sounds great!

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thanks so much!

[@62mhc]

I would love you to back me singing any Al Jolson song. You are amazing.

[@PJFox-lo8pi]

The most 'complete' style on piano. Well strided!

[@dalleger]

Just perfect! Bravo!

Brilliant and delightful. Keep working on that left hand guys, but you won't match Stephanie.

[@albertogarciaarango2411]

BRAVO!!!!

[@jimmadson]

Jazzy!

[@stilllearning9590]

In jazz, they used to say Ella Fitzgerald could sing the phone book and bring down the house. I am now convinced you can play any song and make it astounding. Not just in the way that jazz musicians change songs and then go into improve mode (which I love) but you create in a whole new, refreshing way. Somebody is going to put out a Playing Stride the Stephanie Trick Method tutorial...hmm...in the future people will wonder if the pianist does any Trick Stride.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

That's so kind of you, thank you so much!!

[@peterm2618]

LOVE IT! 🥰

[@ThatBoomerDude56]

In the sidebar, I see a video interview of you. It was posted 10 years ago. You look exactly the same. Proof that jazz is good for you. :)

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

☺️ Thanks!

Thanks so much! Ethel Merman was great, she could really belt them out! 😊

You guys should make a t-shirt or shirt with 4 hands entwined.

Ha! Piece was written 99 years ago, but you make it sound as if it's being written _right now_!

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!!

[@7eis]

That synthesizer is bigger than my apartment

[@Inspectoryoung]

Stephanie, please reply. Are you on a pay subscription channel only now?

[@sschmidtevalue]

Although it's very skilfully played, I think I'd like it better at a slower tempo.

[@Inspectoryoung]

Stephanie, have you retired from playing stride piano?
