My hero Dick Wellstood! The first piece here is found transcribed in my book "Harlem Stride Piano Solos", available on Amazon (look for the nice price edition!). "Happy Feet" is transcribed in my other book "Dick Wellstood: The Art of Jazz and Blues Piano, Vol. 1" (Soliloquy Music). :-)
Thank you so much Will for having posted these two masterworks. How great Dick Wellstood was! I think this rare out-of-print album is definitely one of his best ones (and possibly the best one). Cheers from Riccardo Scivales (the transcriber of both these pieces).
I am cataloguing an LP collection for a lady whose husband died., leaving a large record collection behind. That included a lot of Sackville and Unisson Records LPs from Toronto. So I just 'discovered' Dick Wellwood....I like piano music like this.
This masterpiece version of "Jingle Bells" is found transcribed note-for-note in my book "HARLEM STRIDE PIANO SOLOS", available on Amazon. "Happy Feet" is transcribed in my other book "Dick Wellstood: The Art of Jazz and Blues Piano, Vol. 1" (Soliloquy Music, available through private message here). :-)
Mark Waterfield Jingle Bells is available in “Harlem Stride Piano Solos”, and “Happy Feet” is available in “Dick Wellstood Piano Solos Vol. 2”. Both books are out of print and can be difficult to find. Let me know if you have any success!

Great "Happy Feet" arrangement!
One of the best stridepiano players who ever lived!
Thanks Will =;) Nice to see more of Dick Wellstood on You Tube.

Officially it's Wellstood -- but Ralph Sutton called him WELLSTRIDE !!!
What a brilliant interpretation. Damn!
Thanks Will......and Happy Holidays to you and yours! =)

Is it possible to purchase the sheet music for this? and if so I would be very grateful for a link.
