Matt, I love the way you play this! I have a recording of Pete Johnson playing this, and on this vinyl LP it's title is "Climbin and Screamin". To my ear he is using a different LH pattern than the one you are using in this video (I don't hear him playing any Eflats at all in the C position. Are you conciously using a different pattern or do you hear it the way you play it? In either case, yours sounds great and I wouldn't change a thing!
Old farts!!! It's so sad how these old dudes can't even bop they headz to such an amazzing piano playa from they era... Kinda sux... I know if I was there i'd be respecting this piano playa like MAD ;)
Outstanding playing. Your audience may not have been able to jump and move with the music, but I think they know an excellent performance when they see one. Thanks for sharing.
P.S. I do hope to be old one day; It's better than the alternative.
Good lord you can play! I guess you really are the boogiewoogie kid. wrong crowd though brah... lol You might look out of place but if you came to my rec center and played like that there wouldn't be anyone sitting down :)
I noticed at about 2:05 your left hand completely took over as you played chords with your right hand. Then you came back in with that contrapuntal swing employing both hands. Rockin'
all that and nobody even moves... its not Live here and im having trouble sitting still at that :p anyway, is there any way to get notes for boogie kind of music? i tried searching everywhere here in holland but it seems you have to simply "know" this music rather then have a way to start learning it... care to help me out?
When I get sick & tired of playing guitar and guitar players in general, the first thing I do is relax with some good boogie piano......fabulous playing.....
Aye, and he's playing it just right. Just the right pace (speed). Fucking fantastic. And that says alot of his ability as well. This young man is truly FUCKING brilliant. Sorry for my swearing, it's just the Norwegian way. GO SON!
I'm 16 and my name's Pete Johnson, although i am in no way related to the great man, I do like to play the boogie and fully appreciate this form of music.
I think old(er) people have greater appreciation for GOOD music. Try listening to what younger people listen to. Oldsters may not move around as much (anymore), but they know good stuff when they hear it.
They all look bored!! doesn't look like they really appreciate the talent displayed here.. HOW is that possible. this video is so under rated and under viewed. 5 Stars!!
you REALLY have some awesome skills at this! flawless...just perfect, and AWESOME!
Wonderful, Amazing, Superb!!! Perfect tempo!! Ragtime and Jazz are my favorite types of music. You really made me to search for the partiture. Keep on the great work!! I have become a great fan of you!!!
I am 100% frank to you man!! Your interpretations are fantastic!!! Do you have an account on facebook? I would love to add you to my contact list. Send me a private message in case you don't want to display your adress or your profile. With all my respect!
This is as good as it gets. Love the relentless left hand.... complimented beautifully with cheeky melodic riffs from the right. A real Boogie Woogie Bonanza !
Boogie woogie is the basis of everything!! It was rock n' roll 30years before the name was termed.
A a superb performance here!! and I most like that it has all the no nonsense pounding rhythm of the original without the smarmy flourishes that tend to creep in to the music today..
Matthew, I'm a pianist and need to ask you a question. How can I contact you? I tried leaving a question on your Pinetop's Boogie posting but I was told that the message was "pending approval", so I don't know if you got it. Thanks. I digging the ---- out of your playing!
You are awesome. I've spent a lifetime trying to figure out what Pete Johnson does and the nearest I get is this take (search Youtube for roll 'em pete). Still for a self-learner I'm happy. Colm
i like the old folks getting into it....

Matt, don´t you think BW is far more blues sub genre than a jazz sub-genre?
