As a classical pianist at a conservatory, but also as a gigging blues musician, this is really special to see. Always nice to see people getting back to what they love! It can be incredibly beneficial to just improvise over a 1/4/5 progression, not only to improve one's classical skills, but also for their soul! Boogie Woogie and Blues is some of the most pure music out there, it just makes you want to dance!
I am now 70 and vividly remember my dear old mum playing boogie on our piano, the house was ful of music but we moved house and my father sold the only piano in the village ours, still when i hear boogie i think of those happier days than now under lockdown.
I have been listening to classical music almost exclusively for over thirty years, but there is something about boogie woogie that just grabs me. It's one of my favorite things in the world.

This is the result of a man... Who has been perfecting his skills for years... FOR YEARS!!!. And this clip shows only ONE of MANY performances he has made through all these years! This Boogie Man is a living legend in my opinion!
I love how his full body is involved in the performance... probably the most enjoyable piece he’d play that night! Good to see classical performers opened to other styles and having so much fun, well done!

Yes the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre or Church Organ will not dissolve, but will add to any music, just love them when they are played by someone who knows what they will do. like the Castro Theatre Organ in San Francisco
Please watch the joy in his face. If there is something that will save us from the AI storm that is coming is this genuine human element: HAVING FUN!!!!
Schaue ich mir immer wieder gerne an. Man sieht dem Jörg Hegemann einfach an das er jegliche Art von Musik einfach lebt und liebt. Vielen Dank dafür und bleiben Sie Gesund.
What I like about watching this video is how the two people right behind him react. The Asian lady looks all full of joy while the dude next to her is like, "So he can play the piano. Big deal."
The best part of this performance is not only the music but watching the stuffed shirts and the music lovers. How wonderful to share his talents for all to hear.
Holy Mackeral!!! This guy may be either one of the best or The Best boogie player I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of em. This guy's got the real feel, in my book, and the chops to go along with it. Whewwww! Marc Trainor.
I’m torn between the classical brilliance and musical integrity of Jorg and the natural genius of the undertrained, back alley style of any number of memphis musos. Jorg definitely keeps the spontaneity that great boogie woogie is.
O M G ... you would think they (the musicians behind this great player) could crack a smile or show some sort of emotion ... thank God the audience where alive at least. Congratulations Mr Hegemann your C O O L and your saved in my favourites ;-)))
*gingercat555:* I was thinking that maybe it's because they've sat through so many concerts and practices with him - they've heard it all before - many times?
If they had "gotten into it", it actually would have been more of a distraction, from a production standpoint. This way, the pianist is showcased, fully, not only as the the only one playing, but the only one moving. This naturally draws the audience's attention where it belongs.
How is it possible, 80% of the audience is musically dead or deaf, no reaction whatsoever, or if it's not classical, it's not music, jesus. great class mister Jôrg keep going man you are the best
I think they just don't know what to do .would've been super if some could've joined in on their instruments too. I also think he's the best I've ever heard...I always come back to him.
@@zeus-mt7wx They didn't do years of hard study at an conservatory in order to master their instruments that some random schmuck could tell them "they don't understand music"
@@billcherry5852 i hate to break your bubble...but steinway has been center stage to the jazz devloppement and have seen groobing lot better then this... oscar peterson has played sophisticated boogie...that are way beyound these 3 chord crap.
It does the same for my special needs son! It makes him smile 😃and dance whenever he hears 👂it! It also makes him think of trains 🚆🛤🚊🚂🚃🚄🚅🚇🚋🚞🚝🚉🚈 when he hears it.
Lény the piano isn’t bright enough and it’s adapted heavily to create impressive tonal and timbre colors. It sounds very smooth and round if that makes sense. Definitely amazing for classical, but not bright and pingy enough for rag time/blues
Long long ago a college classmate was prepping for his final senior level performance for his music degree. He was really nervous about it but a great piano player and loved boogie woogie, stride et al. Told him if he started to loose it during the recital to go off script and play something to settle his nerves as it were. Apparently he finished one piece from the program and took a little diversion then back to the plan. Still aced the performance from what I can recall. Boogie Woogie, cures what ails you.
He looked so happily alone. Like "finally, ive been waiting so long to do this." This is what he plays in his free time.
This is what every piano-inclined musician should do when the conductor is running late 🥰

This is most certainly music for the soul...for the ears and the feet too.
Can't sit still through this. It's so 👍 👍 GOOD.
Boogie Woogie on a Steinway Grand, with a posh orchestra just sitting there twiddling their thumbs, MAGIC!
Damn right!
Posh Orchestra?
Aitor Tilla instead of a lower class orchestra i guess
It's the most fun that Steinway has ever had.
This is amazing
I am now 70 and vividly remember my dear old mum playing boogie on our piano, the house was ful of music but we moved house and my father sold the only piano in the village ours, still when i hear boogie i think of those happier days than now under lockdown.
I bet if he'd play that at my funeral, I'd start wiggling in the coffin.
I definetly want this at mine👍😊
Me too!!!!!
I have been listening to classical music almost exclusively for over thirty years, but there is something about boogie woogie that just grabs me. It's one of my favorite things in the world.
Wkwkwk
You see and hear that genius on the piano and all what you comment is that the vid is not sync??? Oh my gosh.
Same here...I'm mainly a classical guy, but sometimes a little boogie woogie is just what I need.
Me too. Same with bluegrass banjo 😁
Boogie Woogie got the US servicemen through World War Two.
Just loved the expression on the lady sitting behind him as she enjoyed his piano playing. Respect from one musician to another.
This.
She got it!
He's just so happy, you can tell he's enjoying it! Makes me happy. :D
Dazzo 888 -Yeah EH!! He's having a ball!! :)
Bradley Williams for Eb instruments. 1... 2... 1,2,3,4
It's a song in jazz conception for saxophone

The happiness is contagious.
Jorg Hegemann - what a dude! The orchestra look p***** off and he's just rocking out having a time of it.....
The 2nd Violin is digging the shit outta of it.
Gelynn
Exactly. Their feet tapping along rhythmically can’t hide the boogey though lol.
Holly crap ! He definitively knows where middle c is !
You've been watching Dr K.
He knows how to bash the piano
He knows boogie woggie !!!
@@MorainStaria And you very probably do not know Dr K ! 😁
@@MorainStaria All lies ! Or you would never have answered me. And what i learned, is that people like you will always treat others with names they fear to be called themself, so i take it you are a snob on a high horse 😂
One of the best boogie woogie performances I've seen -soul, not just technique.
In der Tat. Allein die Länge und die Spannung zu halten sind außergewöhnlich
This is the result of a man... Who has been perfecting his skills for years... FOR YEARS!!!.
And this clip shows only ONE of MANY performances he has made through all these years!
This Boogie Man is a living legend in my opinion!
All boogie woogie pianists look just so HAPPY to play boogie woogie. There's this bounce to it that you just cant help but bounce along.
Boogie woogie is so fun to play that it brings just joy to yourself and to those listening to it😁
I just started watching Jorg. You are a super talented pianist. Now I'm a big fan of yours.
He’s got an amazingly strong left hand to go on with that pattern for over 4 mins. Marvellous
I love how his full body is involved in the performance... probably the most enjoyable piece he’d play that night! Good to see classical performers opened to other styles and having so much fun, well done!
Literally. Can tell this dude is good natured, has fun and is HELL OF A PIANO PLAYER!
I love how his whole body moves in time to the beat. Must have loads of energy.
This qualifies Jorg to be an honorary American. Best I’ve heard.
His fingers are moving so fast and accurately, damn

Ma quanti pianisti hai visto per pensare che questo sia un virtuoso? Pianista con mediocre controllo del suono esegue tutto senza dinamica senza inventiva appena sufficente, qualsiaisi musicista di club negli Stati Uniti lo suona meglio e senza annoiarti e magari improvvisando cosa che questo non sa fare.
Fast?
One Man, one Piano, does the Boogie Woogie and the whole hall is completly dumbfounded. It dissolves every single instrument.
Except the king of instruments.
Which is the voice.
Which is the Church Organ... Google it.
I don't need to ..but fair enough.
Yes the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre or Church Organ will not dissolve, but will add to any music, just love them when they are played by someone who knows what they will do. like the Castro Theatre Organ in San Francisco
This guy is one of the best. Really captures the spirit of Albert Ammons.
Let's not forget Pine Top! Smith that is.
Look up Ladyva Boogie Woogie Stomp Live. She is also amazing.
@@SilentHotdog28 what boogie woogie is he playing. What’s the name of it
@@judehawkins305 no idea, I just listen haha.
@@judehawkins305 It's called "Johan Blohm's Boogie"
Please watch the joy in his face. If there is something that will save us from the AI storm that is coming is this genuine human element: HAVING FUN!!!!
Quick someone check for a heartbeat of those in the orchestra! How can you not even tap a single toe? Jorg is EPIC!❤️ Kudos from the USA!
they have no soul...thats the answer xD
Because in an orchestra, you don't tap your toe!
Try toe tapping to this!
Schaue ich mir immer wieder gerne an. Man sieht dem Jörg Hegemann einfach an das er jegliche Art von Musik einfach lebt und liebt. Vielen Dank dafür und bleiben Sie Gesund.
The lady smiling at 0:28 is all you need to know about boogie woogie. Jorg was sawing on that Steinway like she was meant to be. Bravo!!!!
What I like about watching this video is how the two people right behind him react. The Asian lady looks all full of joy while the dude next to her is like, "So he can play the piano. Big deal."
This pianist can’t help but dance along. Love it.
I'll bet that Jorg could read a book whilst playing. Simply the best.
He is killing those keys and I love it beating them to the very core of boogie woogie!❤
I love, love, love his playing. Wish I could attend one of his concerts.
That smile when he knows he's absolutely killing it
The best part of this performance is not only the music but watching the stuffed shirts and the music lovers. How wonderful to share his talents for all to hear.
Didn’t know concert pianists wore dancing shoes....of course, they do! Just magic this!
If this doesn't put a huge smile on your face, and you in a good mood, nothing will!
HE IS GREAT
Holy Mackeral!!! This guy may be either one of the best or The Best boogie player I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of em. This guy's got the real feel, in my book, and the chops to go along with it. Whewwww! Marc Trainor.
This guy has really got some magic in those fingers and hands....
Deb Morris He really does!
That's what his wife said
I cant stop watching this. This should take two people to play. He plays it solo effortlessly
Master class how to perform boogie, great pleasure and respect! Thank you😊
I’m torn between the classical brilliance and musical integrity of Jorg and the natural genius of the undertrained, back alley style of any number of memphis musos. Jorg definitely keeps the spontaneity that great boogie woogie is.
Respect!! Combining completley different genres and pulling it off - love it!!
Credit where it's due as the orchestra members did break out in applause at the very end. Jorg Hegemann is truly outstanding.
Pure genius. I could listen to that all day!
It puts a smile on your face when you hear this type of music.
C'est un régal de vous écouter jouer. Continuez encore et encore. MClaire FRANCE
Monsieur Jörg Hegemann mille fois mercis pour cette extraordinaire interprétation au piano de Boogie Woogie ; vous êtes un grand artiste de talent.
This is why piano is the best instrument. I wanna see a flute playing this...
Piano has a wide range of genres.
But a flute can do other things! That a piano can't!!!
@@sunnyland3952 pervert:)
@@toecutters330 LOL
It's apples and oranges! You should not make asinine statements by demanding that something
do something that it was not meant to do.
I never tire from hearing this awesome performance
he looks like he is having fun too! great player!!
Fantastic might not be the word. Very good. Excellent.
O M G ... you would think they (the musicians behind this great player) could crack a smile or show some sort of emotion ... thank God the audience where alive at least.

‘Where’ is a statement of place. ‘Were’ is the verb you were looking for!!!!!!!
you could say the same thing about the player moving his foot himself as, "being distracting"
Jörg Hegemann is just one of the best boogie woogie players👍
Check out Axel Zwinginberger, JP Bertrand, Hannes Ottahal, Bob Seeley, Joja Wendt, and others for down and dirty piano boogies
@@kingbee48185 Yes, i know them all. They are all legends😁
That was glorious 🎉
Amazing that he can play this song for 4:38 and not miss a beat!
Обалденное буги! Класс! Божественно играет. Браво!👏🌹
Здорово! Только звук не совпадает с изображением!
How do you not start tapping your feet while breaking out in a gigantic smile when you hear this!
I love old school piano.... This one reminds me of Red Dead Redembtion when I would go into a saloon. Love this! This guy is amazing.
How is it possible, 80% of the audience is musically dead or deaf, no reaction whatsoever, or if it's not classical, it's not music, jesus. great class mister Jôrg keep going man you are the best
Jedesmal wenn ich mir das Video anschaue kann ich meine Füße nicht mehr still halten. Einfach genial.
Haha ich auch nicht und ergend wann stehe ich auf drehe mich einmal um und tanze Boogie woogi ✌
Haha der war an unserer Schule..... Wir könnten immer ein bisschen seine Musik hören weil er im neben Raum gespielt hat🤣🤣💖💖Das war so cool🤣
Sparks are flying from the piano....
This guy is amazing!!!!! Puts a smile on my face to see him play..
THAT was some awsome skills shown by the pianist. Loved the melody.
This guy is just a BEAST!!! Killing it!!!!
Einfach wunderbar...ein Könner auf dem PIANO.
Und seine Leidenschaft zum WoogieBoogie ist nicht zu übersehen, ER strahlt dabei.
Danke 🌹🤗👍
Wow. Talk about tickling the ivories. Who can resist that rhythm?
Mr. Jörg Hegemann a thousand thanks for this extraordinary piano performance by Boogie Woogie; you are a great talented artist.
That's a fine way to treat a Steinway, absolutely brilliant.
I played ragtime on one before. The store owner looked angry.
Esta es una de las mejores grabaciones musicales que existen en Internet. Maravilloso.
Just so funny to watch him play boogie woogie during a classical performance 😅 but hey enjoy it just so entertaining
How can the entire orchestra sit perfectly tight throughout his whole performance?
I am surprised by their utmost impassiveness ! 😅 🤣 😂
because they're professional
@@prototypeinheritance515 Professionals who can't understand or appreciate another realm of art ❓
I think they just don't know what to do
.would've been super if some could've joined in on their instruments too.
I also think he's the best I've ever heard...I always come back to him.
They don’t understand the music.

LOVE it jorg the way a STIENWAY should be played
But not the way it should be spelled. It's STEINWAY...
i bet you deep down in the other player hearts. they're dancing like a mad man inside. because, boogie woogie knows where to hit the spot

literal goosebumps...
Had to watch that again and again. I love all sorts of music but this is the style that makes your jaw drop and start tapping your feet : )
Except for the frozen orchestra members behind him.
I Like That Camera Shot Of Jorg Hegemann Tapping His Shoes At The Piano.
Die beste Boogie Woogie Variante, die ich je erleben durfte !!!
@Wolfhard Podewski da
Holy moly. I had the biggest damn smile on my face watching this. Great!!
1:50 wow , exhilarating..... gives me goosebumps 😍
if i had to choose my favorite boogie woogier, Jorg is the one.
Jörg , your play is beyond any compare, fantastic
So awesome ....... such an incredible talent ..... Thanks from the 🇺🇸
Absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏👏
i listened to this on the radio as a kid until i was old enough to go to the dance hall. its just as good now. that was in the 40's
he makes it look easy .so happy as well ,really enjoy this
The best Boogie created in modern times. Awesome!
Thou shalst boogie! Epic Jorg! He couldn’t care what the orchestra think he’s proper in the zone
Such talent!
Thats probably the first and last time that Steinway was played as it was meant to be.
It definitely needed the experience.

1 word - incredible
How could musicians just sit there without at least tapping there feet. I am 86 years old and I want to get up and dance cheers from Scotland
Cheers to you sir from Croatia 🙂
Более того, некоторые из оркестрантов даже отворачивали их лица / There more some of them turned back them faces 😮😢
the competitive pressure among orchestra musicians is enormous. they don't begrudge each other anything
I can tell this is the ideal approach for this awesome musician to lose weight.
Wow! Jorge, you're fantastic! Bravo!
You have remember--this was before rock and roll. This is how that generation got down.
boogie woogie always puts a smile on my face

Genius, on piano, The Best.
WOWEEEE! and he's doing it on a Steinway.... OMG, classical purists are having heart attacks!
It sound really great, but i dont know why on a piano this "high class" there's something missing, that's just a feeling but it's strange
