This Jazz Piano Tutorial is on Stride Piano.

Stride piano is a conceptually simple but technically difficult left hand technique that was widely used by early Jazz pianists. It involves alternating between a bass note and a chord – with the bass note playing on beats 1 and 3, and the chord playing on beast 2 and 4. This creates a kind of ‘oom-pah’ sound where you play bass-chord-bass-chords and so on. And because you’re playing on every beat it creates quite a powerful and driving rhythm, and for that reason is a great technique for solo Jazz Piano.
