Stevens Price plays Boogie-Woogie

[mocus1]

It's supposed to sound out of tune like a Honky Tonk piano......that's barrelhouse piano Einstein

[Damoskinos]

He's playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order

[turkeysmack1]

he looks like that scary villain from The Cowboys with John Wayne!

[SPOOKSTR]

Dude, that was kick ass good.

[Atoomkneuzer]

i think its some sloppy version of the swanee river boogie mabye?

[mashpotatobrains]

Great job...........outstanding performance.....Thanks for posting

[andreboogie]

Oooohhhhh.....this guy had better stick to ragtime!

[weinkno]

That was really cool, cause I can't do better. Really

[JamesPriceJohnson]

this sounds sort of like sixth avenue express by pete johnson and albert ammons, sort of

[adamswampy]

what an awful racket lol

[SimDavBl]

that´s Rock´n´roll music,!!!!! why do they sit still????

[Keeper1st]

Honestly there isn't much room there with tables and chairs everywhere. It's an ice cream shop -- not a dance hall.

And this was at the end of a day filled with constant music from 9 a.m. until here at 10:30 p.m. Everyone's a little bit tuckered out!

[TheLambCannon]

@SimDavBl

becaause it's dreadful - that is really bad playing - his left hand and right hand are totally out of synch - he's going as fast as he can to try to impress and it's just a big mess!

[pyannaguy]

He sounds like he's having a seizure. There are some brilliant boogie woogie cats all over you tube. This guy may be good at some styles but he's way off the rails...it's not in the groove and the chords aren't changing in the right places. Sorry... better luck next time....head for the shed for awhile, listen to the masters, break it down, then work it up.

[Scottit]

That was awesome playing.

Why the negativity?

[Riverdale270]

@pyannaguy

I agree... When I hear a boogie, I can feel it, and I ain't feeling it here...

[widdyhabb]

@Riverdale270 True. Boogie is feeling! (If it ain't got that swing...)

[JamesPriceJohnson]

sixth avenue express i think

[KawhackitaRag]

I just wish Stevens played more like Cow Cow Davenport and less like Pete Johnson, but that's more personal preference!

[musictranscription]

I love to transcribe music

[Rusty350]

Great left hand....made for boogie.

[svampylove]

mi piace tantissimo stò folle grandeeeeee XD

[luigiranalli77]

Fantastic!!! Stevens Price is one of the very best I've ever heard!!!!5 stars!!

[weberduoart]

piano couldn't be 120 years old.obviously it's an old player piano probably made in the 1920's check the seriasl no. and look it up in peirce's piano atlas.

[Keeper1st]

Yeah, I was way off. It's "only" 89 years old. But my player piano, which is newer than that, also doesn't hold tune for long.

By the way, the piano here is a Milton. Mine is a Mercer from either 1924 or 1925.

[Mikeantler1]

sounds like the piano is way out of tune to me!!!???

[Keeper1st]

The piano is 120 years old and doesn't hold tune well. It was tuned before the festival, but by this time on Saturday night it had lost its high notes like it always does.

another student of Herbert Midgley

[DanishBoogieBoy]

Haha good call! :D

[hamd01]

Its the strangest performance.... the left hand starts of playing around 4.5 beats to the bar....and the right hand never catches up. But obviously a brilliant pianist.

[mattcol99]

He warmed up after a while! The start is "Sixth Avenue Express" by Albert Ammons, and Pete Johnson. After that its all improv. Not that Im one to critisise - but I find the timing is slightly uneven - hes playing as fast as he can. Im trying to teach myself to s l o w d o w n..

[hoeliepoelie]

He's a very good player!

[tdub1941]

Hot Stuff! FIVE STARS

Might delicious Boogie Woogie!

Looks like his tip jar is doing nicely too! Yeah!
