Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capturing the raw, fiercely rhythmic power of one of boogie-woogie's foundational architects, this high-energy studio session effectively recreates the raucous atmosphere of a 1920s rent party. His heavy, relentlessly rolling left-hand basslines are paired with lightning-fast, highly syncopated treble improvisations that blur the lines between early jazz and unvarnished blues. The remarkably vibrant recording stands as a thrilling, highly authentic preservation of a vital, often-overlooked American piano tradition.
