As one of the preeminent architects of the style, the pianist unleashes a torrential display of driving left-hand ostinatos and intricate right-hand variations. The solo recordings highlight the percussive power and relentless momentum that defined the boogie-woogie craze. It serves as a definitive masterclass in the foundational rhythms of early rhythm and blues.
