A
feature documentary titled 'Finding His
Stride', about stride jazz piano. In
the 1920's and 1930's stride piano
playing was at its most popular. It
continues in this century, kept alive
and evolving by fewer than 25 serious
players around the world. 'Finding His
Stride' follows pianist Ari Kast as he
seeks to find these people, to learn
from them both what stride is really
about, and the secrets of its
playing.
