PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ | Stephanie Trick & Paolo Alderighi

[@effyleven]

Two class acts... who's sum is greater than their parts. They are lucky they found each other, and we are lucky they did.

That was a good ole swell sweat of a playin' !!

[@jimh.8138]

The very definition of making beautiful music together.

[@gregorypalmer5403]

What fun ! Reminds me of the classic Marlene Fingerle/Artie Schutt piano collaborations for Decca's " Songs of Our Times", 1940s 78s that were reissued on LP in the 1950s. And for on-camera charisma , this is so much like the classic Steve Allen show ( Tonight Show) teaming of Terry Gibbs and Terri Pollard ! Excellent! Good music-making is not dead ! 😁

Just happened on this amazing piece. They make it look effortless, even when returning to kick somebody over to the other side of the keyboard.

[@YildizJoan]

As ever, excellent version. Congratulations and success. Hugs from México. 🎼🎹

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you so much, Juan! Hugs back to México!

[@MrSuperbatone]

Fantastic. As a fellow pianister, I salute you both. I hope we all have a chance to meet, either at a gig or over my 1898 Bechstein grand in Venice, CA. By the way, I always thought Irving wrote "Puttin' on the Ritz" in 1930! Every big record of it is from that year.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thanks so much, we hope to meet you too! You’re right about the many records of it released in 1930! What I found out is that Berlin wrote the song in 1927, published the sheet music in 1929, and I guess the song became popular because of the 1930 film “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and Harry Richman’s recording of it that same year.

I like every piece of your interpretations. Thanks a lot.

[@furioercolessi]

La spinta propulsiva che scaturisce dall'entrata di Stephanie a 2:29 è spettacolare.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

☺️

[@roberthelms1737]

So much fun. Izzy woke up and said "Did I write that? All I know is F sharp."

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

That’s right about F sharp! 😁😁

[@roberthelms1737]

@@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi as CP said, "You're the top".

[@gsco82]

Bravo!! Excellent performance as usual. I would love to know how much of the piece was arranged and how much was improvised.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thanks! In this case the first and last parts are arranged and the central part is improvised…so about 50/50 😊

[@scfjazz]

I love this arrangement! That last descending run is so cool...sounds like a appoggiatura, but what chord or intervals?

[@Inspectoryoung]

Stephanie, Thou swell, but you haven't soloed since!

[@IVORIESMAN]

I'm running out of superlatives...

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

[@jamesnash6101]

She is much more in tune and upbeat.

[@gustavoarmand4111]

She wears him by the nose... she is infinitely superior

[@avsystem3142]

Are you aware that the audio level of your videos is lower than the average of other KZbin videos? Are you normalizing the audio level of each video? That would be recommended. Normalizing refers to processing the digital audio so that the loudest peak in a file is as loud as it can be, in theory 0 dB. Typically, some headroom is preserved by normalizing to a slightly lower level, e.g., -0.5 dB.

[@StephanieTrickPaoloAlderighi]

Thank you for your helpful comment, we’ll keep it in mind as we work on new videos!

[@billr.2210]

Are they married?

[@gustavoarmand4111]

He is a beginner next to her

[@leopianotuner]

The guy plays jazz like classical music and she needs classical piano training to her jazz.
