Boogie Woogie Stomp - Albert Ammons

[darylcarter1]

@superbrutus12 I hate to burst your misinformed and delusional bubble but medicine, art, literature and mathematics, were ALL created by the ancient Egyptians. Exposing ones self to some of that 'literature' would help one to procure a more accurate assessment of such matters. As for your other two references: ALL races have invented things and "great" music is a subjective term, strictly dependent upon ones taste. Jazz is a "great" music to me, etc., etc.

[SuperBrutus12]

To malfini 1 "black people created rock and roll," White people created and developed the great music, symphonies, medicine, art, literature, mathematics, literature, inventions, etc., etc

Gustoso aggiornamento del leggendario "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie"

[ItsNowAlways]

If your feat aren't stompin' you're dead!

Credit to this master and others for American music. Nowhere but here and from them. Imitators abound but there is no matching the original.

[LaLawre1]

Ammons is the best.!

Jerry Lee Lewis was inspired by boogie woogie.

[silverpianolover]

@ANDREROSALVOS yes that is so true....sure do hear Jerry Lee Lewis sounds in this....

[thevuutrain]

@silverpianolover its the other way around. we hear albert ammons in jerry lee lewis

[crankbv1]

In response to a couple of comments listed here. To criticize the playing of someone of the calibre of Albert Ammons you would have to be either unbelievably talented in your own right,or incredibly stupid. l'm inclined to believe it's the latter. As for white folks claiming to have invented Boogie,l for one have never heard such a claim. White musical historians have always ascribed to the fact that Boogie has it's roots in black American culture. But,believe what you will.

[LaLawre1]

I do not care if the man is purple.. He is the best at what he is doing.

What are you..? Jealous ?

[buffalobilly]

This swings so good, those bass lines are just epic

[LaLawre1]

This was popular when I was a baby at 1 yr old. And I can just see

 me swining my lil diaper butt to this tune..!!

This is the very best.. I want it at my funeral..!!

I am trying hard to learn this on my piano.!!

[MrFinerty]

nice tune, but played quite poorly. personally, i think it's probably his fingers. i imagine they were quite chubby. also, i wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in domestic violence.

[SpeedyNeutrino43]

@MrFinerty ...I have a suggestion fo you "MrFinerty".....when you create your own video of this playing it better, let us know...and post it on YouTube. We'll be awaiting your magnum opus...get busy.

[steveknows62]

@SpeedyNeutrino43

Finerty has to be kidding. Or jivin', to be on point.

[woonsocketrocket]

You gotta believe Jerry Lee, Fats and Richard were listening to this as kids

[barbequebobmaglinte]

You gotta let him boogie woogie!

[fede4avar]

Great post I love Albert Ammons

[zigzag5627]

Re: br3wsk33z comment. What do you mean "left hand"? I'm pretty sure he must have had two left hands. And his right hand is somethin' else, too! He was fabulous.

[Allotmenteer2]

If this doesn't get your foot tapping..check your pulse; you're probably dead!!

[hydroy1]

Sorry but there is no question--- you ARE dead !!!! close the lid and hit it with the shovel son ! lol

[RichardTymes]

@Allotmenteer2 :

Oh Hell Yeah! I"ll Make Book On That, Kid! Either Your Dead Or Your Islam!

I'VE REALLY GOTTA START BURNIN' THIS TO MUSIC TO DVD!

Thank You For The SOUNDS!, & Thank You For YouTube!

[sosome57]

Ammons is extraordinary, but so are Dr. John Rebenack, Jools Holland, Johan Blohm, Axel Zwingenberger, Matt Ball, Bob Seeley, Lucky Luca the talented little brat (affectionately) from Germany, Brian Setzer, John Tennison, and that guy from die Schweiz. Tragically, Ammons/Johnson, et al., are no longer with us so we have to rely on those who come after them to keep this music form alive and well. Boogie Woogie Stomp is fantastic, and it's always a blessing to here the originator play his music.

[65coro]

Holland, Blohm, Zwingenberger & Seeley are all good but the finest version of this song is undoubtedly by Eeco Rijken Rapp. It even surpasses the original by Albert Ammons. Take a minute & listen.

[freakyhead20]

@65coro thank you ,that actually a honour to hear that

Eeco

[smudgeguitar]

Albert was the man!

[irvinemuscles]

Black people play Boogie Woogie like no other. Awesome.

[airdancr1]

White folks can boogie too, ya know. Look up Gene Taylor.

Man, Albert can really pound out that rhythm...

[irvinemuscles]

Albert was the best ever. God Bless Him. He's in Heaven playin Boogie Woogie gospel for the Lord.

[br3wsk33z]

Amen, brother. That left hand is a machine!

[widdyhabb]

How about the white (and Swedish!) boogie pianist Johan Blohm, then? Second to none, not even Albert, Pete or Meade!

[widdyhabb]

Ammons, Johnson, Lewis... and today: Johan Blohm, Rob Rio, Axel Zwingenberger. Boogie Woogie never dies!

[Fordrev]

Albert Ammons is one of the greatest...

Rest in peace wild cat !

[SuperDevinci]

oh yes!

[Sweetydu972M]

Loooooooooooove it!

[malfini1]

black people created rock and roll!

[Brutus2]

so?

[airdancr1]

I hate to argue semantics, but Americans created rock & roll. Country gave it the melody, blues gave it those driving beats, and jazz gave it those cool solos. You'll hear it if you listen to early Elvis, Ray Charles (granted, he pulls alot of influence from gospel too), Jerry Lee, or even Fats Domino. I'm just generalizing here, but you can't give credit to just one group of people with something like rock & roll.

[godard17]

and white people co-opted it and claimed they invented it.

[zooders]

@malfini1 not really but sort of

[schclum]

@malfini1 doesn't change the fact that niggers haven't bothered to touched an instrument in about 25 years

[kevfulchester]

@malfini1 hi, my name is Malfini and my specialist subject is "Stating the obvious" :D

[zorbazig]

Pure jewel !!! Wonderful !!! Thanx for posting !

[mudgefudge]

actually, if you do your research, albert ammons did his own version of pinetop's, making the noted more defined or soemthing, and calling it the 'boogie woogie stomp'.

so there :)

[toscanology]

I stand corrected.

[mudgefudge]

:) just saying

[qwer4o]

True.

[uzitek]

Perfect music!! Salute from Slovenia

[NtheH]

That's a hell of along record for an old 78, AWESOME!

[sha1om]

That's because it's the 12" extended version...

(Most 78s were only 10" diameter, limiting them to maybe 3 minutes, but Blue Note Records wanted to give their artists more room to stretch out, so they used 12" records, which were usually reserved for classical music up to then.)

[freddalp]

0:32-1:53..... could go on for an hour without me getting bored.... Pure adrenaline

[TheBluesAreBack]

Boogie Woogie Stomp - The original by the one and only Albert Ammons. What a masterstroke!

[rstar2008]

Yeah! Daddy yo!!!!

[letter80]

Damn!, are we having fun yet??!!

[freakyhead20]

I love to play the end with the awesome double bass. There are 3 versions of this song that I know but this one rocks the most :)

[VirtreousOrKiniko]

Haha, Eeco commented on my video. I feel so proud. ;)

Anyway, you should really repost your video of boogie woogie stomp, but with you doing the walking bass at the end. I would love to see that.

[freakyhead20]

@VirtreousOrKiniko hmm this comment was 3 years ago...how time past by so fast..

[ZeeboLaywicker]

which CD is this from? the one above i have, it doesnt sound the same...

[mahoganyhall]

One of the first records I bought .. the top man for boogie piano

[88Rocker]

DAMMIT!! Now "THAT" is how a piano ought to be played! Danny O'Donnell

[Shmecklecka]

DAMN!

That was the peak of the crest. Rck n roll only went downhill ever since.

Stride piano meets the railroad:::

(damn...)

[Bumblebee38]

This is the January 06 1939 recording issued on Blue Note 2 a 12 inch shellac record . The 1936 version and the first ever recorded by Ammons was with his band at Club De Lisa " Rhythym Kings " . Numerous Photos found in C.I. Page 1997 book on Albert . Regards .

[musictranscription]

I can write for you any sheet music

[hellesterne]

That's right. Who was it said that Albert used to pick the piano up with one hand and play with the other? The man was a total genius. But I take my hat off to the others ewho have tried this piece: they've produced some wonderful sounds, and a glimpse into what it might have been like to stand next to the piano while Mr. Ammons played...

[STANLIZ4]

Dont worry Cam, if you were son of King Albert, Im sure hed be very proud of you!and anyway when youve been playing for as long he had at this time you'll achieve it.You always say stick at it, it comes with practice!remember!

[marygeorge1984]

fully agree! cam's plays are the best around...he sounds just like legendary albert.

[cam1987]

Yeah this is the recording that Colin Davey transcribed (the one I learnt)

No matter how hard I try I can't get the same effortless feel as he did. Although he was 'god of boogie woogie' mind you...

Cam :)
