Mike Lipskin

Mike Lipskin

Mike Lipskin is a stride pianist[1] of the pre-bop jazz style, piano instructor, record producer and author. He has striven to keep alive the form of jazz piano known as Harlem Stride Piano. He played piano and organ on Papa John Creach's self-titled album, produced Ryo Kawasaki's Juice album, and produced Gil Evans' Gil Evans Orchestra Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix. His photography contributed to the 1995 documentary film A Great Day in Harlem.[2] Lipskin performed at the Fats Waller centennial concert at the 22nd San Francisco Jazz Festival.[3] Jazz critic John Wilson of The New York Times has noted a tendency in Lipskin's approach to stride piano to be "abrupt and rhythmically jumping", and declared that the pianist " is not the commanding type of performer that stride piano usually produces but his low-keyed approach results in a different and valid way of using the style."[1]
