He looked so happily alone. Like "finally, ive been waiting so long to do this." This is what he plays in his free time.

I have been listening to classical music almost exclusively for over thirty years, but there is something about boogie woogie that just grabs me. It's one of my favorite things in the world.

[@lescobrandon3047]

Boogie Woogie got the US servicemen through World War Two.

[@oliverjohnson3785]

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.

[@williamkennedy5492]

I am now 70 and vividly remember my dear old mum playing boogie on our piano, the house was ful of music but we moved house and my father sold the only piano in the village ours, still when i hear boogie i think of those happier days than now under lockdown.

I’m torn between the classical brilliance and musical integrity of Jorg and the natural genius of the undertrained, back alley style of any number of memphis musos. Jorg definitely keeps the spontaneity that great boogie woogie is.

[@dkpygman]

If they had "gotten into it", it actually would have been more of a distraction, from a production standpoint. This way, the pianist is showcased, fully, not only as the the only one playing, but the only one moving. This naturally draws the audience's attention where it belongs.

[@susangroom6533]

‘Where’ is a statement of place. ‘Were’ is the verb you were looking for!!!!!!!

Anybody screaming "CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!" here? Jorg can appropriate anytime. He makes this into the dangerously happy music it should be. As I once read on a Chinese site, cultural appreciation is different from cultural appropriation. Jorg flatters America and takes what he found and improves upon it. I am grateful. Can anyone imagine being in a worse mood when they are done listening to this than they were when they began? I cannot.

[@AA-zq1sx]

You suffer from not understanding what words actually mean. "Appropriation" is to steal something from another culture, without giving credit, without understanding it's true significance, and pretending it you can take it as easily as putting on a Halloween costume. "Appreciation" is enjoying and sharing the work of another culture with the proper respect. He is not pretending his own ancestors invented this music... and he studied for years to master it. That's APPRECIATION - and it's beautiful to be appreciated.

Long long ago a college classmate was prepping for his final senior level performance for his music degree. He was really nervous about it but a great piano player and loved boogie woogie, stride et al. Told him if he started to loose it during the recital to go off script and play something to settle his nerves as it were. Apparently he finished one piece from the program and took a little diversion then back to the plan. Still aced the performance from what I can recall. Boogie Woogie, cures what ails you.
