swanee river boogie

[@nasserahmad6866]

What a gifted artist! very hard to find another one like Albert Ammons.

[@adbogo]

Try Luca Sestak.

[@fleecyboy]

He was a great musician. So much fun to hear and watch him. He was in love with his music. LuckyLuca99 has a great Swanee video, also. Luca is the next great Boogie star, I think.

[@fenech97]

A great pianist playing Swanee River Boogie . It makes you want to get up and Boogie.Simply great. Thanks for sharing.

[@valentuss]

This remarkable fellow plays as the happiest Man in the world... The teeth has no any meaning in this case... More important of all are his remarkable smile and his remarkable hands... He is a Great Musician...

[@MrTriolian]

Albert Ammons forever! He played so easily! Unforgetable!

[@stevenhearrell1564]

[@crankbv1]

@jfsa380 Hallo,thanks for your comment re mine on Swanee River boogie. Not sure what you mean by a memo. But l have seen this happen before,where video clips don't match the soundtrack. There is one of Meade Lux Lewis where what we see and what he's actually playing are different. Perhaps the piece was from a recording which was never filmed and the provider was just showing the artist in one that was as a means to an end. Either way...damned good stuff l reckon !

[@DrBlowfins]

This guy is amazing.

[@mplconsulting]

There is so much expressiveness in his piano playing!

[@MrTriolian]

Albert Ammons forever! He played so easily! Unforgetable! His "swanee river boogie" now is a standard in the repertory of all boogie piano player! Justin Bieber???? Should I know him! I don't think so!!!!"

[@zlatavachova5263]

Beautiful thank you 🎹🎹🎹🎹💚💙💙💙

[@TheGroin38]

His smiley face is sooo funny ! What a joy ! His eyes are like " ooh i saw this beautiful lady, oohh, what a beauty !"...

[@anko8aug]

I LOVE THE MUSIC

[@sosome57IHateGooglePlus]

I'm not sure if I can understand how one cannot "feel" it! Mmmmm. Love this stuff! Better than coffee for a wake up!

[@thflinch]

For a film where Albert Ammons' playing matches the film, search for 'Boogie Woogie Dream.' You'll also find another boogie king, Pete Johnson and an introduction by Lena Horne.

[@megmorns]

The film is 'Boogie Woogie Dream'. Pete Johnson has been cut out. The soundtrack replaced with Ammons Swanne River Boogie. However it's always great to hear Albert, pity there was not much film though. Chas. (Mr Boogie Woogie) Hall

[@sealerdave]

Just to staighten all the confusion...This is video of Boogie Woogie Dream by Albert Ammons(left) and Pete Johnson(right)

[@MegaHelweg]

whooo great piano-playing

[@tonycrawford]

True Great Music,, Loved it, &there is So Much More Out There to Listen too

[@mickyp4]

what can you say this guy leaves you BREATHLESS.go BABY go

[@Reliken]

Beautiful, fantastic music. They don't write it like this anymore!

[@dmartin881]

I listened to WLAC nearly every weekday night from 1955 until 1957, and Swannee River Boogie by Albert Ammons was the theme song every night for the Randy Record Shop show at 10:15pm until 11pm Central time. This DJ for this show was Gene Nobles, NOT Hoss Allen. Hoss Allen was the host for Dance Hour, which ran from 11pm to midnight. I cannot remember any specific theme song for this show. Don Martin

[@aristopus]

@aristopus What a great talent! Imagine going for a job in a night club or lounge somewhere locally and out pouring this energy.

[@lauralane7790]

He's outstanding and looks like it's so easy for him. Most Boogie players don't look so relaxed.

[@정충혁-y3y]

He looks so happy >

[@amun-ra2509]

and im loving it :d

[@Dennis19830126]

Great pianist! Great work! The video track is not actually the recording of the SWANEE RIVER BOOGIE, only the audio track is.

[@billywirtz6905]

Hoss Allen was great friend of mine. He was had a tremendous influence on popular misuc. Didn't know this was his theme song. I am going to go learn it now!!!!!

[@douggrimm1812]

As a kid back in the 50's, I heard Swanee River Boogie as the opening tune on Randy's Record Shop ,a rhythm and blues program heard at 11PM on WLAC-AM, Nashville , Tn, which had a special 50,000 watt "skywave" signal, broadcasting only at night. ( It was a low power station AM in daytime hours. ) Randys sold records over the air. A similar WLAC program that played earlier at 10PM was Ernies Record Shop, also a Rhythm and Blues format, with the very popular John Richbourg,as the featured DJ. WLAC -AM at night had a huge coverage area, ranging from east Texas up to Michigan and down to the Caribeann. Ernies also had an opening instrumental featuring a piano theme. Can anybody name that tune and the artist(s)?

[@Larry-d3i]

Don't know the song, but I was listening to the same stations back then in North Carolina. Played a lot of what was called "race records" which where I lived was a big no no so we did it on the sly.

[@bronxbum]

What talent! Gets your feet to movin!!

[@ronklaui]

still a amzing pice off music i have this all 1000 times stil getting goose bumps , when you look to the music off this time brrrrrr

[@ronklaui]

same by me every time that i it hear every day

[@ninalisa2303]

this video is original albert ammons and pete johnson playing boogie woogie dream ftom 1944

[@FreeMagneticEnergy2]

But the audio we hear is from a different recording.

[@elisabethaxelsson4736]

Love this kind of music

[@dnjj1845]

this dude cracks me up. Awesome player too.

[@merryfieldmorgan1]

I might have met you in Brugge, Belgium when I played with King Ernest. Love this version.. Carl "Sonny" Leland and I play together sometimes. Johnny Morgan

[@drboogie8]

Yes sort of but random isn't the word because I think the video lifted from Boogie Woogie Dream was the only time Albert Ammons was ever on film.

[@drboogie8]

The two alternate takes are on the cd Albert ammons 1936-1946 -alternate takes, radio performances unissued recordings on the Document label DOCD-1008. The released version is on lots of ammons cds

[@Harmonyww]

That is unbelievably cool. I can't imagine such a thing is possible nowadays.

[@thiagosc1982]

It is not the original audio. The music doesnt match with he is actually playing

[@crankbv1]

You're correct of course,this isn't Swanee River Boogie.It is in fact Boogie Woogie Dream.If you look to Albert Ammons right you can just see another player with him. This is Pete Johnson. Check the full piece from the lists opposite,,it matches exactly. As far as I'm aware there is no actual film of Ammons playing Swanee,so this was just used to give an impression,as it were.

[@ВладимирСветличный-ъ1ъ]

А ты. Можешь сыграть как он на зубах?

[@alfredogarnica4074]

yeap, taht's is correct

[@sparkesman1980]

It does mention under Subscription that it's not the original video, but this video and song is both Albert Ammons

[@sealerdave]

Boogie Woogie Dream -Albert Ammons & Pete Johnson is the REAL Tune they are playing

[@ElCapitanThird]

how the time has changed from this music to rap,rock, and heavy metal. i say there is bearly any music that compares with this classics besides: ragtime, dixie, foxtrot, western, and folk

[@Gabel3DA]

man is der gut!! er is nich nur einfach absolut entspannt sondern er hat auch so nen geilen beat drauf!! einfach gut!

[@starboy288]

This the video from Boogie Woogie Dream-Albert Ammons & Pete Johnson. This piece is not being played anywhere near the speed of the piece from the video. It's just a relaxed version of Swanee River Boogie, well done too...

[@rodrigoraulsuarez]

Fantastic really, it's the first time I see this. Thanks for sharing.

[@boogieonlineat]

The sound really is "Swanee River Boogie" (second take, as far as I know), but the movie is "Boogie Woogie Dream". Actually two completely different things...

[@pianogiggi]

wow davvero fantastico...bella musica...!!!

[@jmzba]

The BEST ONE. Thx a lot...

[@salihcelikkol7]

Greatest of boogie woogie.

[@manuhunter101]

i adore his facial expressions

[@Maribo33]

Yes, you hit the nail on the head!!

[@vc20029]

Beautiful just beautiful. Even his teeth.

[@beakido69]

MASTERPIECE...just keep quiet and listen...Perfect...Continue to send this kind of gift..;Thanks...

[@allaboard70]

Great, great. Yes really hot rockin' music!

[@cowdudeable]

When that first piano player smiles, his teeth look like piano keys. Or is that just me?

[@thecrazypianist4101]

shut up it's better...

[@arekcep5463]

HEY no one start swearing

[@mikekenny1698]

To understand the piano, first you must be the piano

[@podrum7421]

Hahhahaah... it is but this man storms the keys... Rip Ammons, boogie in heaven

[@neilsterooyjohnny1379]

thecrazypianist U stupid or what? This guy is just asking, he doesn't hate him, probably got that stupid brain of urs from ur parents

[@arnoldwegstern5124]

Marvellous. But now, let s hope, that Martin Schmidt-Hahn on clarinet and sax is able, to help, to keep this wonderful kind of music alive

[@karltokislaterphysique8005]

This sounds pretty cool from where I'm sitting - can't figure out the sour grapes, but some folk would grizzle if their arse was on fire.

[@hughstephenson6716]

This Cat could forever more rock that piano!

[@Ollischniepel]

Genial!!!

[@christuttle3980]

Swanee River Boogie inspired Antoine Domino Jr. To start his Career alas Fats Domino who sadly passed away at the age of 89☹️

[@rufetdanielle1967]

GENIAL, QUE DU BONHEUR.

[@tommycampbell97]

Love how Hugh Laurie is trying to revive this awesome music

[@sebastianrohde5401]

Ammons was the best!

[@Twwisterjohn]

This is boogie as it should be played by a couple of masters of the art.

[@ronklaui]

they play it it in right tempo ,sometime others when they play it ,they are in a hurry to let to see how fast they can play, you must bound the notes together to a nice play and albert ammons was a master in it .

[@fleecyboy]

Three super versions.. But, I still give a salute to young LuckyLuca99 version on You Tube. That one is my favourite.

[@johnastrup1549]

Two masters of this song are Albert Amons / Fats Domino.

[@drboogie8]

not forgetting Jimmy Elledge with Swannee River Rocket on the flipside of Funny How Time Slips Away

[@drboogie8]

c'mon boys (or girls) - be reasonable. if you look at the few words describing this you'll see that its the released version of Swanee river boogie and two alternate takes for boogie woogie enthusiasts with Ammons cut in from Boogie Woogie Dream to make it slightly more interesting and annoy Pete Johnson fans

[@pearsnockie]

@scooterpiepiano there is a video of that on here. on a show with lena horne...

[@pearsnockie]

@aristopus its not fats waller. waller didnt play boogie woogie but stride piano

[@pietersiahaija4698]

" ... that man can play .... "

[@crankbv1]

@jfsa380 If you look behind Albert you can just see another piano player. This is Pete Johnson. They got together to play a well known piece of theirs called Boogey Woogey Dream. You'll see the film clip almost opposite in the listings and it matches perfectly. Speaking of which, the introduction by the woman is nothing short of downright patronising and a sad reflection of the times.

[@oldrockandrollero]

why dont you read the info???

[@Fatsfriend]

All of them are playing together, its from" Fats With Friends", N.O., I think 1985.

[@oldrockandrollero]

does anybody know if jerry lee lewis did a version of it? i have heard a version in the concert with fats domino ray charles and jerry lee but i dont know whos playing the piano. can someone help me?

[@Abiloify]

the real boogie woogie from pianist Legend

[@kimbamamba7230]

He was amaaazing

[@ronklaui]

i have still at home a original record from Albert Ammons

[@SUNNYRHOADES9]

Where on earth did you find this Film Clip .????? Fantastic -I didn't even think they had any Recordings on Film back then 30's and 40's wow excellent -thank you for posting this ..Cheers From Canada

[@jaysmith1408]

@crankbv1 the memo was that the music director chose this song, not another, but the film director didn't get it

[@WarrenHTurner]

Giving my age away - but this was hot when I was in High school. That one was piano solo. I think this one was done with the "Rythm Kings"

[@SuperPowerKiwi]

@comradethird whats wrong with that if people like it? people want it, and thats why it gets big. i absolutly love havy metal band metallica, i also love blues, boogie woogie, classic piano pieces, and heavy metal actually got me to start play piano. how time has changed to this kind of music from a little african baning on a drum, ore the time when there was only small fluets, drums, and maybe a lute. piano is a young insrument, only aboyt 400 years, music is thousand of years old. time change

[@colingreen210]

What a pity the film is not of someone playing Swanny river boogie.

[@escapefelicity2913]

I don't know the song or the person, but this needs remastering. ***

[@PoetryETrain]

Thank you, added to a playlist...

[@arekcep5463]

Albert Ammons was one of the Best Piano Players of all time. this song was not known

[@FreeMagneticEnergy2]

Arek Cep - This left hand boogie style goes back to the 1880s.

[@tanabotaturisan]

あは、凄い、こんな、演奏が聴けるなんて、幸せです。

[@sealerdave]

You bloody nutter, these two guys were the GREATEST boogie players who ever lived EVERYBODY copied them.Try keeping that left hand going as smooth as they do and play with your right..You have to be very SPECIAL.

[@Hyymiee]

Fantastic!!!!

[@jaysmith1408]

@crankbv1 so albert and pete are playing the boogey woogey dream, but the film director didn't get the memo and put in the wrong clip?

[@ggs9759]

thank you Stephen Foster!

[@jknutbens]

You are kidding of course Ha Ha. Albert ammons only preceded hugh Laurie by about 50 years. Albert ammons did not need to steal anything since he invented it all.

[@jwonder7618]

rip Pete and Albert

[@michelteodori4217]

magnifique boogie woogie big stuff

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

Also listen to his 'Chicago on my Mind'!
