As a classical pianist at a conservatory, but also as a gigging blues musician, this is really special to see. Always nice to see people getting back to what they love! It can be incredibly beneficial to just improvise over a 1/4/5 progression, not only to improve one's classical skills, but also for their soul! Boogie Woogie and Blues is some of the most pure music out there, it just makes you want to dance!

[@gloriarangott8803]

This is most certainly music for the soul...for the ears and the feet too. Can't sit still through this. It's so 👍 👍 GOOD.
