One of the finest stride pianists of the past 30 years, Neville Dickie has not gained much fame in the mainstream jazz world but many in trad circles are quite aware of his talent. This set of 21 vintage songs features Dickie as a solo pianist on seven numbers, performing nine duets with drummer John Petters, and in a trio with Petters and bassist Micky Ashman on the remaining four tunes. Most of the songs are superior obscurities, and among the tunes that are revived are James P. Johnson's "You've Got to Be Modernistic," "Arkansas Blues," Joseph Lamb's "American Beauty Rag," "Muscle Shoals Blues," and "Got to Cool My Doggies Now." A real treat for fans of 1920s-type stride piano. ~ Scott Yanow https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-piano-has-it-mw0000235457
