Lyricist/vocalist (and 2011 Grammy nominee) Lorraine Feather has won raves for her lyrical treatments of stride piano compositions; St. Louis phenomenon Stephanie Trick performs electrifying renditions of these jazz classics. Their show features music by Fats Waller, James P. Johnson, Duke Ellington, and more. Russell Davies of BBC said, 'Whenever stride is mentioned, somebody wants to know exactly what it is, [Nouveau Stride] is the best explanation that's recently emerged ... with Lorraine Feather, one of the niftiest lyricists and most gymnastic singers of our age ... and the seventeen fingers of Stephanie Trick!' And allaboutjazz.com's Carl Hager wrote, 'In a duo aptly dubbed Nouveau Stride, the Grammy-nominated lyricist/singer and her petite musical partner are busy reintroducing the very roots of jazz to the 21st Century--a hiply feminine, modernized version of the explosive energy first brought to us by those ham-fingered men who brightened the darkest days of the Great Depression.'
