Great transcriptions,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harlem Stride Piano Solos/F0693 (Paperback)
These transcriptions are great. There is a wide variety of material and the transcriptions are easy to read, unlike some other books of transcriptions. Some of the solos are difficult with wide spans. Recommended.

This review is from: Harlem Stride Piano Solos/F0693 (Paperback)
This is a fantastic set of transcriptions !!! Ricarrdo has blessed pianists with a gem. If you love stride, blues and jazz piano but haven't found a definitive collection....look no further. I wish I could thank Mr Scivales myself. After working on Carolina Shout ( after years of playing other versions ), I owe him a debt of gratitude. I will buy everything he has written.

Excellent introduction to Stride,
This review is from: Harlem Stride Piano Solos/F0693 (Paperback)
If you are interested in tackling this fun, challenging style of jazz piano, this is a great place to start. I don't think it is out of print, as I bought my copy at a music store less than a year ago.
The transcriptions contain a good representation of the Harlem Stride style of the 20's and 30's, and they are exact transcriptions of the original recordings. Also included is a brief overview of the history of Stride piano and biographies of most of the important figures in the genre. A short introduction precedes each of the solos in the collection. A discography and bibliography will direct the reader to further resources.
