Willie "The Lion" Smith was the least recorded of the three giants of stride piano. In fact, he was not recorded until well into the Great Depression, and his signature songs Finger Buster (may 1934) and Rippling Waters (january 1939) date from the end of the decade. But he was probably the authentic stride "animal", living only to display his virtuosity.
