It was here that stride truly began to flourish. Many consider that the stride method of playing comes from a fusion of the popular Blues and ragtime. Stride evolved in the brothels and nightclubs of Harlem cultivated by extraordinary artists and innovators as Willie Smith, Luckey Roberts and of course James P Johnson. As the Blues flowed into the white culture of New York the once black only ghettos of the city became popular venues for white people too.
This meant that many of the established black musicians turned their attention to catering more for the taste of the white audiences with the positive result that by the end of World War Two, stride had found its place in musical history. Rent parties also became an important aspect of this change and mix of cultures. Given the often extreme poverty in which many of these stride pianists lived, finding the money to pay rent was not always possible.
What they cleverly devised were rent parties that were according to some sources riotous occasions that sometimes resulted in fights and arrests but ultimately were there to raise the funds for the musicians and their families to be able to live from one week to another. Throughout musical history, the idea of competitions for prowess or money were not uncommon. There are many accounts of JS Bach accepting musical challenges from any number of fellow composers and performers from Buxtehude to Marchand.
