Fast Boogie Woogie, Solo Piano : Andrew Elias - "Cold Hands Boogie"

Movie recorded both before {practice} and during {performance} the Dutch Boogie Woogie Festival, Ermelo in March 2009.
Two slightly different versions of the same solo piano piece, each one shot from a different side so anyone who's perhaps interested can get a view of both the left and right hand parts.
This is a self composition {in so much as anything riff based like this can be?!}. The first movie clip clearly shows a very unusual fingering technique I use with the left hand, i.e. often I don't use my Little {5th} Finger when playing fast Boogie Woogie - I substitute the 4th and 3rd {together!} instead.
Watch closely at the 1.31, 2.34 and 2.55 minute timings for some quite adept finger 'switching' - I call it moving in and out of my special Boogie Woogie Turbo-Drive Mode, lol! {as there seems no doubt to me that playing without the little finger I can generate a more powerful rhythm and sound}.

[@paladin3798]

very good....thanks

[@jayrobbins8360]

Andrew Elias: We kind of played a duet at Julian’s house in 2017. You have the fastest left hand including Henri. I think you told me you are left handed. Makes sense. Speed. Precision. Right hand is pretty speedy as well. Sounds great. Andrew is a master photographer / videographer. He follows boogie woogie festivals all over Europe and even further. When you see a video by Travel Champion it's Andrew Elias.

[@patrickyoung3503]

Magic pure magic wind him up & let him go Fantastic, my day has just got brighter, Thanks for posting . PS I'm in my 80s please ask Andrew to slow down I can't dance that quick anymore

[@Pikacho14]

[@MrJr01]

Heey! I think I saw you at boogie woogie fest 2011 it was afternoon in that bar where there were 2 pianos! First I played a little and then you jumped in with your great boogie!

[@JohnPanto]

I wish Auver Askerud would not rubbish this great playing. I also appreciate Johan Blohm & would not dream of running down his playing.These two with Rob Rio, I could listen to all night.Diolch yn fawr

[@JohnPanto]

Ardderchog! Brilliant!

[@MrKatajisto]

[@LeDealerChinois]

he looks like hank schrader lol

[@Mynelka]

@dakotaridge You list this on your channel as your favorite. Here`s my take on it. He plays the easiest left hand pattern ( fast or not does not matter ) , when he makes it a little more complex he stops using his right hand for a few choruses. That`s funny. His right hand ,if isolated ,would sound like a third grader piano exercise. He`s nowhere near the level of Johan Blohm, Teemac ( Red Peach Boogie ) or many others.

[@ZACHARYSHARKEY]

someone's salty, let me show you you how to do it. Great Performance!

[@torstenb5228]

[@alfjohanahlsenranes6138]

Amazing but terrible sound quality

[@MrKatajisto]

Does not matter - it could as well come from a "gunnified" saloon...

[@mohamedelamrani4107]

Why sustain pedal? :/

[@xrxt0]

and why not? its there so you can use it. I know it's essential for every pianist to learn to play without it so that they don't depend on it. I have had some hard times not using it. But since it exists, it isn't supposed to be there and sit around gathering dirt.

[@TravelChampion]

Just to confirm I do not use the Sustain Pedal at any time when playing this piece. What you hear is probably just the sound of those wonderful Yahama Strings 'resonating'?!

[@Iryna_Happy]

😅

[@IsaacOLEG]

excellent left hand but the right hand is poor in harmony and swing, to me.

[@romanpravov3527]

Amazing

[@ryanozzay8852]

Is there any sheet music!?
