Extractions: P.O. Box Highland Park, IL More reviews of Erwin Helfers Im Not Hungry But I Like To Eat Blues! Top-notch, historically informed boogie-woogie playing is hard to come by these days, but pianist Helfer eloquently represents the genre on this generally ebullient recording. The unstoppable rhythmic momentum he gathers on Pete Johnsons Swanee River Boogie and the remarkable clarity he achieves on Rufus Perrymans Dirty Dozens represents boogie-woogie pianism at its most finely wrought. Even ardent fans of this music, however, need respite from its perpetually charging rhythms, which is why Helfer wisely inserts contrasting fare. Howard Reich, Chicago Tribune arts critic Erwin Helfer has made it his lifes work (hes 66 now) to play and preserve blues piano. Along the way he has taught countless pianists, given opportunities to dozens of singers, and provided work and camaraderie for many post-retirement musicians, most notably beloved singer Mama Yancey and oft-bemused brush master S.P. Leary. Im Not Hungry, the second release from Steve

African American Registry: Meade Lux Lewis, True Boogie Woogie Piano On this date in 1905, Meade Lux Lewis was born. He was an African American jazzpianist. He was heavily influenced by jimmy yancey and Pine Top Smith. http://www.aaregistry.com/african_american_history/1149/Meade_Lux_Lewis_true_Boo
Extractions: Lewis was a master boogie-woogie craftsman. He was heavily influenced by Jimmy Yancey and Pine Top Smith. Lewis recorded Honky Tonk Train Blues, his signature piece and a standard in the boogie-woogie repertoire, in 1927, though it wasn't released by Paramount Records until 1929. The piece ranks with "Yancey Special" and "Pine Top's Boogie-Woogie" as the greatest recorded early examples of boogie-woogie piano. Lewis met Albert Ammons, a fellow piano player, who, like Lewis, drove a taxi for a living. Eventually they shared an apartment together in the same building where Pine Top Smith resided. All three pianists became good friends, often sharing ideas and jamming together. It is not surprising then that Lewis's "Honky Tonk Train Blues" sounds like Smith's "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie." After the death of Smith in 1929 and the Great Depression, interest in boogie-woogie faded, forcing Lewis to seek other forms of employment to supplement his meager income from playing the piano. Despite boogie-woogie's decline, Lewis continued to record in the 1930s, occasionally cutting sides as a session man playing behind singers George Hannah and Bob Robinson. Lewis and Ammons were key figures in the boogie-woogie renaissance of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Contacted by talent scout John Hammond to play his 1938 Spirituals to Swing concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City, Lewis, along with Ammons and fellow pianist Pete Johnson, were so loved by the crowd with their bristling boogie-woogie piano passages that the music's second craze began then and there. Lewis and his colleagues were booked to play the Café Society, a chic Manhattan club where the best boogie-woogie would be heard through 1941. Lewis remained in New York until that year, at which time interest in boogie-woogie had begun to wither a second time. He relocated in Los Angeles, where he resumed his club work and recording career.

Extractions: P L A Y E R S (To be listed here you need not be a professional but you must be a performing or recording pianist featuring boogie-woogie, Blues or barrelhouse styles.) Boogie-woogie, the origins . Boogie-woogie is a precise musical art form, so it would help if its first appearance could be pinpointed. In terms of recorded material, that task is easily fulfilled, Clarence Pinetop Smith recorded his Pinetops Boogie-woogie on 29 Dec 1928. Although this was the first recording with the phrase Boogie-woogie in the title, Albert Ammons had recorded his Honky Tonk Train Blues, a Boogie-woogie masterpiece, the previous year. It is widely believed that black pianists were playing a form of fast-bass rhythmical dance music around Texas as early as the 1870s, this style becoming known as Fast Western, by 1900 this type of music could be heard in many cities of the USA. With its driving rhythms and pounding bass figures using the piano almost as a percussion instrument, it is reasonable to assert that of all the threads of African-American music, Boogie-woogie is the most African . Clarence Pinetop Smiths recording was named Boogie-woogie because it was released as music for a new dance craze called (surprise surprise) The Boogie-woogie, had this dance been given a different name, for example The Shufflebutt, then we would all now be grooving to Shufflebutt piano music with its 8 to the bar left hand Shufflebutt patterns instead of Boogie-woogie bass figures. Boogie-woogie music has outlived the dance craze after which it was named and several subsequent dance fads too including The Jive, The Lindyhop, The Jitterbug, The Hand Jive, The Mess-around and other dance-forms which have relied heavily on music of a Boogie-woogie nature.
