This is why we need young people to get into this music because in their hands it can still live! Stephanie Trick kicks it.

Well said - nine years ago!

Le talent d'interpréter et la joie de jouer, tout impose le respect ! Bravo et merci Stéphanie.

[@jensblling-ladegaard598]

Fats Waller's original is from 1929 and with a whole band of trumpetplayers, clarinet, drums and everything. Stephanie is playing the solo of every instrument, and she is doing it so well. Astonishing!

[@na3044]

ckeck this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noCoh5uFi7NnnpY This is a marvellous interpretation, and Fats was after all a piano player... she even brings out different feels for the solo parts!

[@betserv.1187]

Is there a piano solo version of the music sheet that she was playing?

[@zacharykoplin6543]

In actually on the day of the recording, Fats had just finished a night of drinking. He had no music, instruments or people to play with. So while his manager(I think) was going out getting people fats was writing tunes down in the back of a taxi. He ended with a banjo, trombone, trumpet, clarinet and himself. Who needs drums when you have a killer left hard!

[@FliegendeHollaender]

that girl has got some chops.

[@albertogarciaarango2411]

That´s the real overdrive from old Tom.

[@dougmillar3874]

Stephanie Trick is a gift from above.

[@kiwimike31]

Her practice and study got her here not some mythical person in the sky.

[@interdec]

[@barbarellagb]

[@illogicmath]

It sounds like the song played by the alien jazz band in Star Wars 3rd episode (actually the first movie)

[@sylviawatkins9137]

So Fine!

[@kc9kepextra460]

Superlative! Exemplary! Precise .. yup, I really liked it! 😁🎶

[@divvy1400yam600]

Amazin' She plays with such apparent lack of physical effort. Her motor co ordination ie brain to fingers is like lightening. Only superceded by advanced classical pianists. A pleasure to hear.

[@JeffRyman69]

She is classically trained. See stephanietrick.com/biography.htm

[@8avexp]

It's like a runaway train still in complete control.

[@paolobozano4125]

Absolutely brilliant!! I think i'm in love

[@oliviaanderson2377]

[@tdub1941]

Wow! Stephanie is fabulous! Cool video catch Mr. CrankityFrank! I Subscribed! RagJazzMonkey Tom

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

Swinging like the devil in person.

[@user-rh7cg6qy4i]

Завидуюююююю и плачу.

[@ChristopherSyn1]

I get the feeling that she enjoys the challenge of that speed! This young woman and another - Katica Illenyi - are two astonishing performers that I would not have heard of were it not for KZbin

[@ivanbeshkov1718]

Didn't know Waller was such a good composer.

[@user-wi8yw3xy1w]

Клас.....

[@number8485]

Unmatched talent since Fats last played this himself in the 30’s.Unfortunately he got through 20 eggs a day and was never seen again after boarding a night train.

[@mrmanjf]

where did you find music for it? I've been looking for hours.

[@leftyfreddie3211]

Fantastic Harlem stride, just missing Jack Teagarden, hahaaa....supose it could.....?

[@normanclarke9317]

This is harlem fuss not minor drag the record company got the titles crossed!

[@budhempfeld]

i heard that Columbia Records put the wrong label on it,switched them...

[@atelier_greta]

can you tell me where can I get the sheets?

[@Stillfabulos]

Hi! Did you find the sheets?)

[@brianradom864]

Its a frustartion, sheet music seems UNAVAILABLE to learn this tune f rom HOW DID MISS STEPHANIE LEARN IT??!!

[@mikexirou]

Man i ve been looking everywhere for it! I cant find it even to purchase online!!

[@roroutube9422]

@@mikexirou She probably learned it by ear. It's a thing to learn music by ear.

[@gregorywhite9095]

Listen and learn...that's what I do and I'm no Stephanie Trick.

[@dale4853]

Close but no cigar.
