Four Hand Boogie from the new Boogie Woogie documentary FALSIFYIN

http://www.falsifyin.com

Falsifyin' is an absolutely amazing short documentary on the development of Boogie Woogie music, with specific emphasis on the piano. Falsifyin' traces the development of this uniquely American music from its roots in the train and lumber camps of Texas and Louisiana to its influence on rock and roll. Interviews and performances (with an emphasis on the performances) from some of the best boogie woogie players of our time including the incredible Jerry Lee Lewis; Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Pinetop Perkins (his performance of "How Long," a song he recorded in 1951, is worth the price alone.); Marcia Ball; Henry Gray; and the incredible newcomer who may bring boogie woogie piano back into the national spotlight, Little Red Clay. The piece includes an introduction by Morgan Freeman and was shot in his famous blues club in Clarksdale, Mississippi in 2005.

Just saw the documentary last night on PBS. It was spectacular! One phrase I remember is something like, "Some say that blues is the father of rock and roll. Blues is not. It's the Grandfather of rock and roll. Boogie Woogie is the father of rock and roll." This was impressive. I'm so glad Pineteop got to participate! Thanks for this great upload!

Loved the documentary. You can hear this style threaded in a lot of southern gospel music, dixie, jazz, rag,swing. Amazing American music at its' best.
