St Louis Blues - Solo Piano

Slow and fast boogie and stride piano version of this classic tune.
Recorded at the Triple Door in Seattle in 2015. This is a version of St. Louis Blues that I worked up based on Bob Seeley's amazing version, which in turn was based loosely on Earl Fatha Hines' version. I also perform this song as part of the Boogie Stomp! show with Bob Baldori.
To see Seeley's version and also Boogie Stomp! videos check out our channel / boogster123
Free tutorial videos on boogie woogie and private lessons can be found at www.schoolofboogie.com
Check out my new instructional book as well, "How To Play Boogie Woogie Piano". amzn.to/1Ri43TT

I’m 16 years old and your videos absolutely inspired me to play blues and boogie woogie piano, I only wish that one day I will play as good as you. Very well played.

I've never seen anyone make love to a piano the way this man did. He played with skill and grace and all the love for the piano you need.

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

A lot of practice went into this much fun and joy. "How long would it take me to learn this song?" 30 years. I gotta laugh when my piano teacher looks at me like "How could you know be able to this?" without really asking out loud. He doesn't realize how I have nothing to go on, most of the time. It's all new. Great share, thanks.

[@brucejeric6701]

Arthur, that’s the best St. Louis blues I ever heard!!! You were smoking !! Thanks I was keepin the beat on the couch tonight after my practice.

Dear Arthur. You are a boogie pianist. No halves or maybes, you either have it or you do not and you have It. Great to listen to a guy that understands his music and plays it sooo right.

Thank you David, great to hear from you!

[@midnightpianoman]

Great performance♪ Thank you for sharing!

[@uhoh007]

Ok very good....now let's see you on the Hammond :) The organ came later, so the true organ boogie is not based on Handy but the Cogic Shout, a tradition that lives and breathes at the root today. With great respect for Cory Henry and Mike Bereal, to my ear the Prokofiev of the Hammond shout is Eddie Brown. To me, that's the living boogie of century 21, wonderful as echoed tributes, highly polished like yours, may be. I'd love to see you expand into that genre, which is also great on Piano. But the Hammond, even with it's one great limitation (which was too expensive to mass produce:touch) takes the shout, and rock and roll, into a fantastic realm where the piano cannot go..though it's still the best training platform for any keyboard, and you do it justice here. Thank You.

[@thearthurmigliazza]

LOL I love the hammond organ. Great sound. I love the physical workout of a real piano though. Nothing compares to the feeling of digging into real wood, weights and levers.
