This is a Boogie Woogie left hand pattern that I first saw played by a German Pianist called Jorg Hegemann at the UK Fomag Festival - at least I think this is what he plays during a song he performs called "Boogie Woogie Country Girl". I like the feel of it - very rhythmical and just a little bit different from your 'typical' Boogie?!

Track performed with his 18-Piece Rhythm and Blues Orchestra at Le Trebendo Club, Paris - March 2006. These days, Jools Holland is perhaps best known as a TV/Radio Presenter, and Big Band Leader. But as this video shows, he's also a superb pianist with a special talent for old style Boogie Woogie Piano Music. The track shown, i.e. 'The Bumble Boogie', is often played at his concerts and is always a crowd-pleasing show-stopper!

Track performed with his 18 Piece Rhythm and Blues Orchestra at the 'Cafe de Paris' in London, November 2006. The venue was small and intimate, and I found myself a great viewing position where I could overlook the stage and have an excellent view of Jools hands hitting the piano keys. I felt as if I was almost part of a special Boogie Woogie Masterclass! The 'Bumble Boogie' is my favourite Jools Holland Track. Every time I hear it played he throws in lots of variations in both the right and left hand parts. I would call this a 'medium-fast melodic version' - Top Draw!!

Movie recorded at a Concert in Cardiff, October 2008. Dr. John (also Dr. John Creaux) is the stage name of Malcolm John Rebennack Junior, a colorful pianist, singer, and songwriter, whose music spans, and often combines, blues, boogie woogie, and rock and roll. The song "Such a Night" was played as the final encore at the Cardiff Concert. It originally featured on the 1973 Album "In The Right Place", one of the early break-through recordings which established Dr. John as one of the main ambassadors of New Orleans funk.

This is a short video explaining some of the fingering I use for playing Boogie Woogie left hand riffs. As you will see in the clip, I use an unusual 'transitional' finger method of moving about through some of the key changes. I don't want to call this either a lesson or "instructional video" as I myself am not sure my it's the right way to play things. To illustrate I have used some brief extracts from the 'Bumble Boogie', 'Swanee River' and some brief improvisations. If anyone else plays this way please let me know - maybe we could form a club {lol}

Grammy Award winning reggae singer song-writer Jimmy Cliff live at the Cardiff Festival, August 2007. The song "Many Rivers To Cross" is a very powerful ballad, and has been covered by many Bands/Artistes including Van Morrison and UB40. I think it's fair to say though, that having heard Jimmy's sensational verson at the Cardiff Festival, the original is nearly always the best!

German Pianist Jorg Hegemann performing with his 3-Piece Band in the town of Bocham, Germany - March 2007. Jorg is one of my favourite Boogie Pianists which is why I made a special trip to see him. His driving left-hand powerhouse rhythms together with dazzling right-hand runs combine to make Boogie Woogie playing at it's absolute best!

Ben Waters at the Bulls Head, Barnes in London - November 2006. "The Melting Pot" is a superb arrangement of various bits of piano music, including {towards the end} the "Bumble Boogie". Plus points and minus points of the video?! Well...on the one hand it is rather dark...but on the other this is Ben playing solo on a £27000 Concert Yamaha Grand - so the sound quality is really good!

A medley of two different recordings of Jools Holland playing the Big Joe Turner classic "Sally Zuzas". First one was made in Dublin in October 2005. Played with the full 18 Piece Band, this version has a great 'swing' feel to it, and really good sound. Second one was made at The Paradiso Club in Amsterdam, March 2007. Played with a smaller touring 10 Piece Band, this version has more of a faster 'driving' rhythm, and a great view of Jools' hands at the piano from the seated balcony view.
