UPDATE to the Hot Club of France award
announced earlier this year [8/22/12]: Translated into English,
the item on the HCF website says that the New Talent Prize was
personally presented to Stephanie by Hot Club president François
Debrosses [on August 11] at the 14th international Boogie Woogie
Festival in La Roquebrou, France. It goes on to say, "This
prize is for a stride pianist in whom the Hot Club of France
specialists have detected large potential, evidenced by the
interpretations of her CD, "Live at the Sheldon Concert Hall." We were
able to hear her play stride piano at the festival and see how she has
grown since her 2010 CD. Her style is very accurate, her touch light
and nuanced... And then there is her bright smile, her complicit gaze
turned to a public that she knows honors and much appreciates her." The CITYSCAPE PROGRAM on National Public Radio station KWMU 90.7 FM in St. Louis is hosted by Steve Potter. On 6/1/12, Stephanie and David Halen (St. Louis Symphony concert master) were interviewed about the upcoming Innsbrook Institute Music Festival. KWMU's website has more details on the program.

THE AMERICAN RAG, "On the Festival Trail – Gratitude for Thanksgiving
in San Diego" by Don Jones (commenting upon the 2011 San Diego
Thanksgiving Dixieland Jazz Festival) [Dec. 2011/Jan. 2012, pg. 2]: Jazz fans had their smiles stretched from ear to ear and their forehead frowns were seldom seen. They were particularly enthusiastic about two new performers invited for the first time: young pianist Stephanie Trick from Saint Louis, Missouri, and the young California group, the Red Skunk Jipzee Swing band from Pismo Beach/San Luis Obispo. Mixing the young with those longer in the tooth gave all of us something to celebrate with a large dose of gratitude for their delightful performances. ONLINE RADIO INTERVIEW with Stephanie Trick and Frederick Hodges by Susan Brender ("Masters of Stride Piano" on "V for Vitality") [12/14/11], on womensradio.com. (22:59 MP3) DAVID LEWIS REVIEW of Stephanie Trick LIVE on CD Baby [10/14/11]: "Stephanie Trick Live" is taken from a concert at the Sheldon Concert Hall in her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri. The crowd is warm and receptive, and the live recording is of studio quality.... Trick maintains an intimate connection with the listener throughout the course of this disc, which has a more expansive range of selection than any of her previous releases.... This was definitely a good night for Stephanie Trick, though it's hard to imagine her having a bad one. BULLETIN DU HOT CLUB DE FRANCE [Feb. 2011]: JAZZ DIXIE/SWING [Feb. 2011]: From DOUG RAMSEY'S BLOG "Rifftides" on ArtsJournal.com [1/31/11]: (254 KB PDF) [Stephanie] fell in love with [ragtime and stride] and mastered it, and now the worldwide network of stride enthusiasts is in love with her. I wouldn't be surprised to see her following expand to a wider audience. Ms. Trick [is described] as "the real deal" [with a] "rock-solid" left hand. If you're not accustomed to willowy young women emulating James P. Johnson, Fats Waller and Willie The Lion Smith, get used to it, is my advice....

(2:13) Radio interview by DAVID REFFKIN (The Ragtime Machine) [7/26/10], KUSF 90.3 FM Radio in San Francisco, California. (26:36 MP3) From CARL HAGER'S BLOG "About Jazz (Jazzers Jazzing)" on allaboutjazz.com [7/25/10]: [J]ust this last week the lyricist/singer [Lorraine Feather] got together with the phenomenally gifted young pianist, Stephanie Trick, for two days of rehearsal. Already considered by many of her peers to be among the best stride pianists in the world when she was but 21 years old, Trick was invited to perform at the 2008 International Stride and Swing Summit in Boswil, Switzerland and has been invited back again this fall. From NEJAZZ.COM REVIEW of the 2010 Great Connecticut Traditional Jazz Festival: [T]he biggest surprise of the weekend was 22-year-old Stephanie Trick... [W]ith an impressive knowledge of both early and current Stride, Ragtime and Boogie pianists, she demonstrated their different styles. Knowledgeable ... Stephanie Trick, an accomplished pianist, floored us playing obscure Jelly Roll tunes, then moving into Scott Joplin ragtime, then James P. Johnson stride. She explained who each one was and how their styles differed, and later included some of today's players, Dick Hyman, Neville Dickie. Our music has a future!

(17:20 MP3) PETERS' MUSIC NEWS: JAZZ DIXIE/SWING: JACK RUMMEL REVIEW of Hear That Rhythm!: (120 KB PDF) "I
met Stephanie for the first time a little over a year ago [in 2007] in
Pacific Grove. At that time she was also a very competent, classically
trained, ragtime pianist. Now she has started to play Johnson, Waller,
and Smith, quite beautifully I might add. She is, in my opinion, the
next rising star in the stride world.... It appears that she has the
necessary duende to be able to join the inner circle." "Stephanie
[had] already wowed the more than 250 [St. Louis Ragtimers] fans that
packed St. Louis' Sheldon ballroom.... [T]he lissome and vigorous young
musician stepped back up to the concert grand as Trebor Jay 'The
Professor' Tichenor graciously yielded his seat and stood listening and
watching her prodigious talent with an eagle eye and a fine-tuned ear
from the sidelines. Her second selection, a rousing stride piano
version of the George Gershwin-Earl Wild classic “Liza,” improvising
with elaborate riffs on the melody line and concluding with harmonious
arpeggios, brought the audience to their feet, cheering to the hall’s
intricately illuminated rafters." THE FANS SPEAK
