This is not quite 'pure' Boogie Woogie IMO.
He's added and changed so much its turned it more picsticato jazz

not loud enough, but fascinating, especially the facial expressions at the beginning

0:35 what kind of term is that called in playing piano? Ostinato?

Ostinato means accompanying with a repeating background melody, harmony or rhythm, which is indeed is very common in boogie-woogie. But that right there was simply a rapid repetition of notes: a tremolo.

OH THX!

who's this guy here and where's albert?

nope, not gettin it

Disagree. The boogie woogie feel is totally there.

I said summtin' sacrilegeous, did I. Using and grooving along with all the right elements added loosely on a string without making them into a stand alone piece is not what makes a boogie woogie. Them ole masters did give us whole, structured pieces, not just loosely added elements as here. But what do we argue, feel free to enjoy what you want, Jacques, YOU do play the real stuff the REAL way it should be played and j'aime your live performances very much. Keep it up.
