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, Dick Hyman and more.

" Whenever stride is mentioned, somebody wants to know exactly what it is, and ['Pour on the Heat'] 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!"
- Russell Davies, BBC

" 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."
- Carl Hager, All About Jazz
