a fine example of an early Axel Zwingenberger. The influence of Meade Lux Lewis is noticeable

  • Technically brilliant, but wa-a-a-y-y too fast!

  • Have you ever heard the original record ? I play at about the same speed as Axel Zwingenberger himself - nothing more, nothing less...

  • nice play! where do i get the sheets?

  • There are no sheets. Try playing it by ear !

  • thats awesome. how did you learn this song? i only know one 1 sheet music book and this song i dont think is on it. you rock!!

  • I don't play Axels sheet music. Find it easier by ear and that way I am also not restricted to the few songs he put on sheets. I think many of his best recordings are from his early days where he played uninhibited with the full fire of his youth. Maybe at a later time I will post some more early Zwingenbergers like 'Steady Roll Boogie' or 'Thursday Evening Blues' - just wait....

  • awesome! love that! Let´s see and hear more of your talent here!

  • @stilzelrump 1: No, I haven't heard the original record; 2: I did not say you are playing this faster than Mr Zwingenberger; 3: Boogie music played at this speed loses the feeling and rhythmic "drive" of the (slightly) slower tunes; 4: For an example of what I'm talking about, listen to Albert Ammons original recordings, especially Boogie Woogie Stomp; 5: But as I said, you're technically brilliant! :-)

  • @Amadeo909 "... I only played boogie, nothing else." There IS nothing else! :-)

  • This will sound utterly cleche, but the 1st album I ever bought w/ my own money was 'Meade Lux Lewis'. I'm relatively young now(32) and bought the record at 11yo. I liked the names of the songs and loved the picture on the cover- I hadn't ever heard him but for $2.50- it was a steal! I can't read music because I prefer playing it , like it's in style! Axel is good but, he's like a metronome. He has no blues to the boogie, no raw emotion to sew back together after an 'unraveling'-Opinion.

  • who is this?

  • Nice but too FAST for me !

  • brilliant

  • Brilliant!
