Pinetop's Boogie Woogie

[@petewehle9485]

I had Mr Pinetop Perkins in for several shows back in the 1980's in South Bend, Indiana. His Pinetop Boogie Woogie was recorded at Sun Records in 1951. The same year I was born. He was one hell of a piano player but originally, and I don't know if man fold know this about Pinetop but he was a guitar player until one house party a jealous husband attacked Pinetop with a knife while Pinetop was in the restroom with the man's wife. The rest is history. And he use to tell me...."You find em and I wll grind em! Love and Compassion and Gratitude, Pete Wehle. (Way to go Matt keep playin those Boogie Woogie Blues.)

[@dworkenlaw1]

He sounds so good especially because his left hand work is very, very good. He is using a great baseline. Fantastic job, Matt. You are up with the greats.

[@tony1234872]

Makes me want to pour out a small shot of southern comfort, light a cigar and listen away to this wonderful music

[@digikitty11]

WOW! Ticklin' those ivories to the nth degree, absolutely FABULOUS!!

[@boatracer39]

I've heard a lot of Booogie but no one can touch this !!!!!

[@picturesmahoney]

I can feel Pinetop Smith's toes jus a-tappin....

[@exnavynightflier]

How does anyone rate this with less than 5 stars . . . outstanding.

[@mossberg0]

Such an excellent work. I've been listening to this for years :) I must have added it to my favorites around 2009 and I'm still coming back for it.

[@costerjoakim]

Returned yet again, now isn't this pure pleasure? I think so.

[@raymondlee2146]

you cant beat this kind of music . awesome,

[@rounder2u]

This is indeed one of the best versions of Pinetop's Boogie Woogie. It's also nice to see how it graduallytransforms to, or rather incorporate elements of, the Albert Ammons version - Boogie Woogie Stomp. Really great playing!

[@luckyenrique]

I've play my whole life but not like that. I haven't heard pinetops since my grandmother use to play it when I was a kid. You are fantastic! Keep playing its inspiring....and nothing that exciting ever happens at our Borders!

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you! Since 4 years old - but I've only been playing boogie-woogie style since Oct 2001

[@gasper47]

[@snooky1942]

[@lolayancey3626]

Best Boogie Woogie I ever heard! This kid is good!

[@jubalcalif9100]

I have a notion to second that emotion !! :-)

[@rk-eu3zx]

You are a Master of an Art that sadly has too few practitioners. This is the music that should not be allowed to fade....EVER!!

[@Burnsomatic]

Well what do ya know! Here is a great boogie-woogie player! I love the groove of it! It sits down solidly in its tempo and doesn't budge. It just cooks up like some great boogie stew. Bravo. Bravissimo. (I love it.)

[@kemposoefi]

My Nr#1 player on YT forever! You are truly keeping the legend alive. Thank you so much for your contribution to this fantastic music.Keep on playing son! Peace to you all, Fred.

[@PaulRx4]

Who are the 22 who did not like??? Really, lobotomies are still being done. How could you hear this at borders and not like it? It would make my day. Great stuff!!!

[@kaylllake1]

Simply the best!

[@Eric-kw2bv]

So 31 people gave this a thumbs down...Well folks this tune & its derivatives will still be played long after you all, hip-hop, & rap-crap are long gone & forgotten.

[@petergorm]

@joacos Me tooooo.Damn,great 'piana' Mr Ball is playing!!!

[@sturdleyburdeux]

Matt - you are great. U have nice flourishes introduced into the piece. I agree with @joacos about taking liberties tempo changes and variations to create your own signiture piece. You've got the tickets. Rock on.

[@psychkoala]

Fabulous. I'd pay to see you play anytime, kid.

[@tillybinkie]

Is this in a Store? What a brilliant idea! I wish we had more of this in the U.K.

[@ThePansye]

[@STANLIZ4]

There's a white shoe visible under the piano, it never moves! has the guy got a pulse?? (fantastic playing, what a gift, you lucky person!)

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you Pianoworks - there are alot of things that I start to play but then don't quite finish and Pete Johnson's Dive Bomber is one of them - it's great though! - Pinetops is my favorite to play - I have a new version of it actually that I should have up here in the next couple weeks - thanks for watching!

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks misterd!

[@joelhhall]

you need a saloon piano for this! its real talent when it sounds good on the baby (or ) grand . you have real talent - love it

[@orangejuiceman]

Isn't this the Boogie Woogie Stomp?

[@koenderbb5191]

Boogie Woogie Stomp is derived from Pinetop's Boogie

[@pankillheure]

The end is from Boogie woogie stomp yeah, but the rest is Pinetop. Also the BPM Pinetop boogie woogie stomp is a bit faster

[@EcirpWehttam]

I used to play some boogie woogie and the one thing which is painful is keeping that bassline going with your left hand. Obviously you get used to it, but trying to play again it's really hard to keep a steady beat!

[@ruairif6804]

This is boogie woogie stomp. Albert ammons version of pinetops boogie.

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank You! - Matt

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you Joacos!

[@yeshiveh]

Boss.

[@hardToSignUpHere]

yes, it does sounds more line Ammons' stomp indeed, nice anyways!

[@emmettsewell2045]

It is kind of a mix of boogie stomp and pinetops boogie mostly boogie stomp

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

The orignal piece was by Clarence "pinetop" Smith - but then Albert Ammons took it and made it into "boogie woogie stomp" - mine is a mixture of these two, although more albert ammons than the other, plus I have put my own spin on things - I know Pinetop perkins version but I don't like it as much - luckyluca is a fantastic young player who I enjoy watching too.

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

thank you! - I was taught it all by a guy from your generation :) - thanks for watching- Matt

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you Nefjol! - and thanks for watching!

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks Kruglar! - Matt

[@StinkFingerr]

Thx for the great Boogie Woogie Fix!

[@sealerdave]

Flawless !!! Been listening 50 years you have very good great left hand..Where do you perform ?

[@ann-kristinesjoberg1951]

Vilken kille.....

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Boogie Stomp was Albert Ammons arrangement of Clarence Pinetop Smiths Pinetops boogie - my version is a take from both these - but mine are the same - thanks for watching!

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks for this comment! - Matt

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

This piece for me has evolved through at least 3 different arrangements from parts I liked of other peoples arrangements/playing - If I like a piece alot I usually will change it over time or add to it - mostly though it is from Albert Ammons Boogie Woogie Stomp - I learned it by ear from the recording

[@badboy1O8]

this guys a fuckin boss

[@seywhut2985]

Oh that's Boogie Woogie Stomp'ish. Not Pinetop's.

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks for the Comment! - Matt

[@ray25lee]

Is anyone able to tell me what the technical term for what he's doing at the beginning is? Where he's rapidly alternating between two chords?

[@Ted655687653]

tremolo - usually it is done one hand, but here is using both hands

[@ZeeboLaywicker]

hey..do you do weddings, parties, receptions etc? i really like your playing!! lemme know! Z baby

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

I think it is a Kawaii - it's not the easiest to play though - I play annually @ this borders and it's always a bear of piano to play - I'm always tired after - thanks for watching! - Matt

[@DazHousego]

When or if do you come to the UK please?

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Guys listen - Albert Ammons Boogie Woogie Stomp IS Pinetops Boogie - just Ammons arr. - Ammons only changed the name for legal reasons - Thanks for watching!

[@freddynator2]

what´s the differenz between Boogie stomp and pinetops boogie?

[@Burnsomatic]

Hey Matthew, is the left hand pattern that you use in this boogie exactly the same as the one you use in Roll 'em Pete? I am desparate to know what it is. I think I have it, but I can't see what finger you use on the last note before the down beat. Is it a 2 or a 1? And do you really play two fifths and a sixth consecutively in the pattern? Please tell me. My life depends on it.

[@DazHousego]

Did you ever meet Pinetop?

[@freddynator2]

Where did you learned this??

[@thekoalamasta]

in which key are you playing ? Ive always wanted to play this song

[@godfreywalters9211]

I'm. not. sure. what bthat. was. I. just. look vvatb but. I h Gaddy...

[@swingbram]

Compare this to Albert Ammons' "Boogie Woogie Stomp" from 1936. That is what you are actually playing. Not Pinetops Smith... Great Job though....

[@Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you! - Matt
