My father collected used records when he was young, in the mid 1930's. He had 900 78's including a load of boogie woogie, that he could also play on the piano...hearing Meade Lux Lewis brings back MY childhood too!
This is not boogie-woogie music. It’s honky tonk music with some blues mixed in. You must’ve learned the knock off version. See my channel for the real deal.
This video had the three other parts are quite remarkable, but I wondering why the South Bank Show producers didn't include Jimmy Yancey. Yancey was the poet of boogie woogie, the man who proved it could be quiet, gentle and lyrical. His late recordings for Atlantic, made in 1951 just months before he died, are among the greatest jazz piano records of all time.
An irresistible music. We're lucky to have RUclips around to satisfy our Boogie Woogie fix. In the days before RUclips and the internet, it was very hard to find some.
Your very welcome Ron! What I wouldn't have given to have met your dad and heard him play. I love listening to his stories. My dad, being a Baptist minister...I so relate! Thanks again.....Jonny
Your welcome freakyhead! I hope these boogie videos will remain. I have gotten a 'warning of sorts' that they may be in jeopardy....we'll see. I'm not making any money on them of course. I simply put them up for people interested in this form of music to enjoy.
lts always been common knowledge that people like Esquirita ,and Little Ritchard played Boogie Woogie , and thats where that gut rythem that infected the Rock n Rollers came from ,paving the way for the improvisational routes of the Blues ,and R&B to skyrocket to the forfront of modern popular music ,and the inspiration for some of the greatest Music Artist of the 20th century , "just keep that beat going" baby...
That left-hand part that Art Hodes plays at 10:54 is the foundation of a whole lot of pop-culture western or cowboy songs. I don't mean real country & western; I mean Broadway or Hollywood-style songs about cowboys.
No Yancey here because no film exists of him playing at obscure rent parties in Chicago in the 30s and 40s. This is sorrowful because Yancey could be slow and subtle, and wandered smoothly into and out of blues territory with a smoothness unmatched.
Boogie Woogie, rock n roll or rhythm'n'blues call it what you like but the average listeners out there aren't going to know the difference. I'm a pianist so I've studied boogie woogie & rock n roll so I know the difference i'm detail minded but most people can't tell the difference. Just because there's no drums doesn't mean it's not rock n roll. Elvis' earliest records didn't have drums either & many think that was the start of rock n roll. Only it wasn't Bill Haley was before Elvis but even he wasn't the beginning of it. There's earlier examples, Jackie Brenston's "Rocket 88" in 1951 is arguably the 1st rock n roll record but not all agree. Fat's Domino was asked in 1957 how rock n roll got started & he was playing it for 15 years since 1942. Little Richard & Jerry Lee Lewis were obviously influenced by this. Clarence "Pinetop" Smith was the first to record it in 1928 when it was first called boogie woogie. But he got shot accidently & his career was cut short. In 1929 Meade Lux Lewis recorded "Honky Tonk Train Blues" but it fell into obscurity. John Hammond heard it in 1931 & spent 4 years tracking Lewis down & finally found him washing cars. Meade Lux Lewis rerecorded it in 1935 & it was released in 1936 it was the start of the boogie woogie craze.
That is Pinetop's Boogie Woogie by the original Clarence 'Pinetop' Smith recorded in 1928. Not the cover version done in 1950 by Joe Willie 'Pinetop' Perkins.
Hi thanks so much for this. I also had this programme on Video Tape from the 1980s which I kept for a while, but until I found this I thought it had gone forever. It started me off playing boogie woogie, unfortunately I didn't keep it up, but I'm trying again now. By the way what happened to Part 2, was it taken down for some reason?
@freakyhead20 Hi Eeco, l notice you've recently found the History Of Boogie videos. l've had the original BBC Southbank Show recording on VHS tape since back in '86. Albeit that it's getting a little threadbare now l still refer to it for details. lncidentally, l would have given my eye teeth to have sat in on that closing session,..it just doesn't get any better. l once said that if the house caught fire the first thing l would grab would be my boogie tape..which didn't please my wife a lot !
Probably, a lot of this info is out of date. It seems that Boogie Woogie was being played in Texas as far back as the 1870s! This sounds rather strange as boogie woogie is often described as the blues speeded up but I thought that the general consensus was that the blues can only be traced back as far as the 1890s. Confused, Liverpool, UK.
There's no definite demonstration that boogie woogie came from Marshall, Northeastern Texas at early 1870 other than a single statement from a pianist, author Elliot Paul who make that claim
@@towerscopeTHANK YOU from this African American, MY home State, Deep EastTEXAS!!!!! Grew up with a Great Grandfather who taught his son(1899) to play, who taught his two sons and two daughters, one of which was my mother to play and because I loved the BW so much I tried to learn, (lost cause Lol) but that piano is still at my oldest 1st cousins house in Texas with one of our Grandfather's sons WORLD WAR TWO picture sitting front and center!!!!!
@@towerscope BTW, there was a dance called the Texas swing where I'm from. Don't see it much anymore, won a few contest in my day dancing to Boogie Woogie. Anyone out there who know/remember that swing/ dance?????
@BigMikeyT72 Your welcome! I sincerely hope these videos stay up on line because I have recently gotten a warning from RUclips for possible infringement....so they could remove them. Hope not! I make no money on them at all.
Not bad for Brits. But you are missing the real nexus. Jimmy Yancy. Jimmy Yancy. I don't care if pine top came first, Jimmy was the carrier In Jimmie's songsd youy hear the unity of the 4 part Zulu singing and the 88 tome drum we call ghe piano.
People can't hear the difference, it seems. I have heard precious few white people who 'get' the rhythm of the blacks, whether in blues or jazz. It always saddens me when people move from blues to rock'n'roll without knowing what they lose. What can I say. It's just sad.
Big Joe is my Dad, thanks for posting!!!!
What?!

This was what inspired me to learn boogie woogie piano and now, 34 years later I bless the internet for having this around. Here we go again!

Love boogie woogie, been playing it for years now!

Not mentioned but one of the true giants of boogie woogie: Jimmy Yancey!

makes me giggle every time the host says boogie woogie

Here, about 5 minutes in, is Paul Oliver, author of 'The Story Of The Blues."
Thanks for posting all 4 videos of the history of boogie woogie!!!
lets boogie!
Eeco
Roman numerals always get me! Thanks for the date observation...
I hope this is correct Spanish: "De nada!"
lts always been common knowledge that people like Esquirita ,and Little Ritchard played Boogie Woogie , and thats where that gut rythem that infected the Rock n Rollers came from ,paving the way for the improvisational routes of the Blues ,and R&B to skyrocket to the forfront of modern popular music ,and the inspiration for some of the greatest Music Artist of the 20th century , "just keep that beat going" baby...
Not so common knowledge. We have to keep reminding them.
That left-hand part that Art Hodes plays at 10:54 is the foundation of a whole lot of pop-culture western or cowboy songs. I don't mean real country & western; I mean Broadway or Hollywood-style songs about cowboys.
No Yancey here because no film exists of him playing at obscure rent parties in Chicago in the 30s and 40s. This is sorrowful because Yancey could be slow and subtle, and wandered smoothly into and out of blues territory with a smoothness unmatched.
@towerscope You just said "Your Welcome!"... I believe you wanted to say "Gracias"...

Wow, that first excerpt sounds exactly like "Pinetop's Boogie." But, this recording is from much earlier than that.
That is Pinetop's Boogie Woogie by the original Clarence 'Pinetop' Smith recorded in 1928. Not the cover version done in 1950 by Joe Willie 'Pinetop' Perkins.

At 12:52 there comes the real boogie woogie dance.
i love this vid

Anyone knows who the piano player is at 04:26 ?

Sorry this took so long, but it may be Lafayette Leaque...
Also wanted to know this!
Finna boog.
Is anyone ever going to admit WHO and WHERE Boogie Woogie originated?????
They did. East Texas and in Ft. Worth.

THE HISTORY HERE NOW!!!!!!! www.cdbaby.com/all/numone
People can't hear the difference, it seems. I have heard precious few white people who 'get' the rhythm of the blacks, whether in blues or jazz. It always saddens me when people move from blues to rock'n'roll without knowing what they lose. What can I say. It's just sad.
anyone else here from AFROAM 265?
yes. lol do you know whats the deal with the gospel vs boogie?
Avery Samuel you mean for that two question quiz? something about how gospel offers a solution in god and the blues are just people complaining
Ragtime comes once a month for women. They say they have a headache so the men play piano for 4 to 6 days.
There is no boogie-woogie music in this entire report. This is honky-tonk music with some blues in it. See my example to learn the difference.
