Despite limited club work and no recordings during the 1920s and nearly all of the 1930s, Yancey was nonetheless a highly influential figure in Chicago blues and jazz circles, regularly performing on the city's house-rent party circuit. He remained a popular draw at such gatherings until his death in 1951. To join E-Mailing list:

Extractions: Jimmy Yancey [Listen to his music] Jimmy Yancey, byname of JAMES EDWARD YANCEY (b. Feb. 20, 1898, Chicagod. Sept. 17, 1951, Chicago), American blues pianist who established the boogie-woogie style with slow, steady, simple left-hand bass patterns. These became more rapid in the work of his students Albert Ammons and Meade "Lux" Lewis who popularized the "Yancey Special." Yancey was largely a self-taught pianist, with some instruction from his brother Alonzo. He had a childhood career as a singer and dancer, touring American vaudeville circuits and European music halls, giving a command performance for King George V of England in 1913. Returning to Chicago, Yancey performed at small taverns and informal gatherings. He played baseball in the Negro Leagues until 1919, the year he married Estella Harris (Mama Yancey), who sang with him at house parties throughout the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. They had three recording sessions together and performed on network radio in 1939 and at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 1948. From 1925 until his death [1951 - diabetic stroke], Yancey worked as a groundskeeper at the Chicago White Sox baseball stadium. Yancey's influence on other musicians was profound, but his music was known to only a small coterie during his lifetime. Mama Yancey continued to perform and record, working with pianists Little Brother Montgomery and Erwin Helfer. She sang at Carnegie Hall again in 1981.

Extractions: Albert Ammons was one of the big three of late - '30s boogie - woogie along with Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis. Arguably the most powerful of the three, Ammons was also flexible enough to play swing music. Ammons played in Chicago clubs from the 1920s on although he also worked as a cab driver for a time. Starting in 1934 he led his own band in Chicago and he made his first records in 1936. In 1938 Ammons appeared at Carnegie Hall with Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, an event that really helped launch the boogie - woogie craze. Ammons recorded with the other pianists in duets and trios, fit right in with the Port of Harlem Jazzmen on their Blue Note session, appeared regularly at Cafe Society, recorded as a sideman with Sippie Wallace in the 1940s and he even cut a session with his son, the great tenorman Gene Ammons. Albert Ammons worked steadily throughout the 1940s, playing at President Harry Truman's inauguration in 1949; he died later that year. - - Scott Yanow, All-Music Guide Peter Johnson

Extractions: http://www.blueflamecafe.com/ Yancey, Jimmy A masterful pianist of the Harlem Renaissance. Born in 1918, Yancey became part of the Chicago boogie-woogie era and excelled in the piano. Yancey came from a musical background and learned how to play the piano from his brother, Alonzo. His father also was an entertainer, so music influenced Yanceys life from the very beginning. When Yancey was a child, his father would tour and Jimmy would join him to tap dance and sing. Yancey travelled all over the world to give family performances and by the time he was 16 years old, he had already travelled around America and Europe and even entertained royalty at Buckingham Palace in London. Even though Jimmy Yancey was extremely talented, he also followed another passion: baseball. He worked as a grounds man in Chicago at Comisky Park, where the Chicago White Sox continue to play today. He worked at Comisky Park for twenty- five years and there are even rumors that Yancey went semi- pro. However, during this time, Jimmy kept music in his life and performed on the house- rent party circuit, an extremely important part of Chicago music. When Jimmy was twenty-one years old, he began to record his boogie- woogie style which he pioneered two decades before. He had been playing the boogie- woogie style for his entire life and twenty years later, the style was a hit. His style is described as "often included stuttering, Latin-inspired bass riffs and restrained tempos"
Extractions: One of the seminal boogie-woogie pianists, Yancey was active in and around Chicago playing house parties and clubs from 1915, yet he remained unrecorded until May 1939, when he recorded "The Fives" and "Jimmy's Stuff" for a small label. Soon after, he became the first boogie-woogie pianist to record an album of solos, for Victor. By then, Yancey 's work around Chicago had ... more

Extractions: Meade Lux Lewis by Joel Simpson Boogie-Woogie The driving left-hand blues style known as boogie-woogie was probably invented around 1900 (Eubie Blake's broken octave, descending bassline in the "Charleston Rag" from 1899, is highly suggestive of a boogie pattern). It began to surface in saloons, honky-tonks, bawdy houses, and "barrelhouses" in the South and Midwest around 1912. A barrelhouse was a rural dance hall in which the beer was served out of barrels. "Barrelhouse" became synonymous with boogie-woogie. Music was generally supplied by a single pianist on an instrument in a questionable state of repair. The strongest possible expression of rhythm was therefore necessary, and the boogie bass supplied it perfectly. Primitive, gutsy, driving, it could be heard above the noise of the crowd and would work, at least in some keys, if the piano was missing a few keys. Boogie-woogie spread more rapidly in the black community in the 1920s, became a national fad from 1938 to about 1945, then rapidly faded from view. Yet it has remained a permanent favorite in the repertoire of most intermediate to advanced pianists, with some specialists still around. The first major popular recording artists to emerge from the field were Clarence "Pine Top" Smith (1904-1929) and Jimmy Yancey (1898-1951). The next generation of famous boogie players included Albert Ammons, Mead Lux Lewis and Pete Johnson (see also biographies of these others). Origins Meade Anderson Lewis was born September 4, 1905, in Chicago and died June 7, 1964 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in a car accident. He came from a musical family. He acquired the nickname "Lux" because as a child he would imitate the excessively polite comic strip characters Alphonse and Gaston, calling himself the Duke of Luxembourg.
