Boogie Woogie Boss , do you ever have seen Ben Toury ? Playing with Brendan Kavanagh ? AMAZING for me , to see him. And you ever heard of Pia Beck ? From holland.

[@boogiewoogieboss5894]

Hans P, yes they feature first up in my boogie woogie duets video. It’s amazing, check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ20qGlup9B5bck

I always wanted to play my piano like u people.l have been practicing 65 years at least.I'am still practicing.THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YALL' S TALENT.May ouer Lord bless u all and keep u strong and well Halalua.

[@JesusisJesus]

May I have a piano lesson from you?

[@boogiewoogieboss5894]

Sorry for the delay, didn’t expect a question on lessons from this video. Have you tried some of the tutorial videos? What level are you? Beginner/ intermediate?

[@CliffH49]

Ladyva's playing is absolutely magical, coupled with her magical ability to swap her bracelet from one wrist to the other whilst playing is an astounding skill

[@mombasaflash]

😂

[@terryallan235]

Good one Cliff. Surprised her dress didn't change to multi coloured floral as well. They must've edited and mixed and matched for sound quality reasons or something similar.

[@tomft3992]

😅

[@tomhermens7698]

Yes she could easily varnish her nails too whilst playing. 😂❤❤❤❤

[@MyDagfinn]

I am surprised Ladyva being fifth. She has a flow that is magical and to watch, it is not merely her hands playing but all of her - she is totally into her own play and that makes her number one, I say.

[@boogiewoogieboss5894]

Let’s face it they are all great in their very different ways. Thanks for supporting the channel, it great to hear so much love for boogie woogie.

[@flomurdock]

I agree, she is awesome!!!!

[@michaelgreene7385]

Agreed......

[@randylenart9674]

Very good thank you for making are day 🤗

[@johndoe5346]

Not taking anything away from her, but Dona's performance is just on another level

[@michaeljoseph2303]

They are all good and have unique individual style. It’s not right to put one against the other. My favorite is Ladyva!

[@louisstopforth5886]

My favorite Ladyva you are the Best , you have class girl your music rocks my world.

[@waynesmith9765]

My favorite is Ladyva. She plays GREAT piano AND can magically move her bracelet from one arm to the other between notes.

[@brianbaxter61]

LOL!

[@michaelgreene7385]

She makes a great video, her director was probably the reason for that, not her. Her talent was flawless.... director, not so much....

[@isaaccd79]

Very good!!

🙄😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's magic ..

[@Cha-y412]

Too funny.

I am a Ladyva fan and watch every evening. Of course I think she is #1.

[@1samndrose]

Ladyva is my number one all day & every day !!

[@ronnyl5773]

good i hear from someone who knows. Thank you. i say for some time she is the best

[@miketuch]

@@ronnyl5773 81 also, boss, ladyva is far and away the best. As good as Paul Revere on Gardena in 61,62.

[@johnmuller2706]

For me one of the best Boogie Woogie players. Gongratulations Ladyva.

[@gary-kr7dm]

It’s Ladyva for me. She has the right speed, the excellent left hand, the beautiful way of playing proper boogie woogie, and, the looks.

[@boogiewoogieboss5894]

The right speed is great point, even the great Meade lux Lewis succumbed to trying to play too fast in the end. It’s important to be able to hear those rolls and feel the swing.

[@flomurdock]

And elegance

[@michaelgreene7385]

You said it.. straight up. And well said.....

[@junagbayani8488]

I frankly never imagined piano music can be this...danceable...i love woogie boogie...!

[@glennkoons1560]

Ladyva is till my fave and I am 84 and have heard it all.

[@miketuch]

I'm glad to hear that - she knocked me out with her playing - best I've hear in 60 years!

[@jge7026]

All of them amazingly good, but Martha Davis really floored me. The swing, independence, flow… just perfect.

[@bonitzsche9106]

ladyva---- magnificent, magical!

[@smedlysspeakeasy5226]

After he finished your taxes he would often get up and play 30 mins of boogie boogie for you on his Steinway baby grand piano! He was a left hand stride fats waller copy cat! Trust me if you ever heard him you would all agree he was the GOAT! REST IN PEACE DADDY! ILL SEE YOU IN HEAVEN SOON!

[@michaelgreene7385]

No.5 , got my vote for no.1, but, they all are phenomenal musicians, but, the grace and the beautiful atmosphere of the lighting, the settings, the way the keys flowed beneath her fingers, like fine silk rustling in the breeze. Did I mention that she was HOT!. It did it for me. A class A act. Simply beautiful....

[@leonardorochadutra8811]

Wow!! What a left hand Martha Davis!! Jaw dropping!!

[@Watcherrye]

The first lady that played, I thought , by golly she is as beautiful as the music she plays. I was tappin my toes and boopin my head to the beat, and she smiled and I thought damn she is good. She's extremely great at Boogie Woogie and off the charts beautiful.

[@Mr.Ekshin]

And she does that AMAZING magic trick where her bracelet keeps switching from her left wrist to her right wrist and back, all while playing the piano. She should bring that trick to Penn and Teller.

[@ukucuckoo]

My Mum was a great pianist who had been classically taught, and she was a big fan of Winifred Atwell. Whenever Mum played the Boogie Woogie we kids had to sit in the windows to see if our grandparents were coming along the road. If we saw them we would immediately warn Mum and she would change to playing Rock of Ages . They were big church people and did not approve of such decadent music as the Boogie Woogie.

[@boogiewoogieboss5894]

Stories like this are amazing, it’s had to think this music was once so controversial. Thanks for supporting the channel and best wishes.

[@michaelgreene7385]

Yes, at one time, you didn't play this music in public,or, certain people .. it was taboo...

[@seanmagee5669]

Back in the day, If one don't dig de Boogie:, one is Square.

PS. Those ladies are just amazing, to say the least. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting. 😂👍

[@larrypuckett5291]

Not being disrespectful but your mum is someone I would love to meet. I play blues guitar but love the boogie woogie piano

[@martineastburn3679]

I really like Dr. K But Donna is flying high with Boogie ! Thank you Donna !!

Agree with your choices. These women are incredibly talented.

She is full of life and energy and that’s what we want. humor too hee hee cheeky too! 😊

Now this is special. If children got to see this video it could inspire them to no end.

[@glenmillerrinthemoodbarnes9513]

She is one of the top 10 in my library of misic ranging from A-Z, I can't stop listening to her, when I listen to someone else, I end up back to LADYVA!!!

[@Charles53412]

Same here ! I even found a video of her playing with Boogie Woogie guru, Brenden Kavanagh on his YT channel. It was quite amazing !

[@ianhighton7127]

Thanks so much for the Martha Davis footage, heard her playing before, but not seen her perform. I think all these ladies are simply amazing.

I love Lady Va, but Dona is just the heart and soul of Boogie Woogie. Her performance just bounces every time. If you see someone playing boogie woogie and they're not bouncing and smiling, they're just not in that zone.

Ladyva est tellement exceptionnelle car elle joue avec un grand talent mais surtout avec son coeur. Et c'est pourquoi je peux l'écouter jour et nuit et jamais je ne m'en lasse. Ce n'est pas seulement une façon technique de jouer mais avec tout son être. Une des plus grande pianiste que j'aime, en plus elle est Suisse et de Saint Domingue, ce qui fait d'elle une personnalité des plus merveilleuse que je connaisse. Exceptionnel. J'aime Menphis Slim, Jelly Roll Morton, Lill Ardin, Jerry Lee Lewis.... Mais Vanessa est dans la court des grand.
