James P. Johnson

Just as Jelly Roll Morton turned Ragtime into Jazz (Definition), here James P. Johnson started doing more Stride (Piano).

Listen to the style (more than the structure) of this piece he plays. Notice specifically the Stride (Piano)

• He's definitely all over the place in the melody
• His LH is all over the piano, his RH is all over the piano

Another example is Carolina Shout.
