   ▓████▓▌       Willie "The Lion" Smith in the 1920s was considered       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       one of the big three of stride piano (along with          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       James P. Johnson and Fats Waller) even though he          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       made almost no recordings until the mid-'30s. His         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       mother was an organist and pianist, and Smith             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       started playing piano when he was six. He earned a        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       living playing piano as a teenager, gained his            ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       nickname "the Lion" for his heroism in World War I,       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       and after his discharge he became one of the star         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       attractions at Harlem's nightly rent parties.             ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Although he toured with Mamie Smith (and played           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       piano on her pioneering 1920 blues record "Crazy          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Blues"), Smith mostly freelanced throughout his           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       life. He was an influence on the young Duke               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Ellington (who would later write "Portrait of the         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Lion") and most younger New York-based pianists of        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       the 1920s and '30s. Although he was a braggart and        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       (with his cigar and trademark derby hat) appeared         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       to be a rough character, Smith was actually more          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       colorful than menacing and a very sophisticated           ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       pianist with a light touch. His recordings with his       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       Cubs (starting in 1935) and particularly his 1939         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       piano solos for Commodore (highlighted by "Echoes         ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       of Spring") cemented his place in history. Because        ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       he remained very active into the early '70s               ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       (writing his memoirs -Music on My Mind in 1965),          ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       for quite a few decades Willie "the Lion" Smith was       ▓▌
   ▓████▓▌       considered a living link to the glory days of early       ▓▌
