12 Bar Blues in A, Stride, Rootless Chords

Hi everybody,

In my latest hairbrained attempt, I have been playing something similar to a stride pattern except instead of hitting the downbeats with chords, they are syncopated.  And instead of playing triads I play 4 note rootless jazz voicings, this combined with having it off the beat definitely takes it out of the realm of ragtime and into a jazz type of texture that is very steady rhythmically as far as jazz piano goes.

Ok, hope everyone's having a good weekend.
