Boogie Woogie : Mike Sanchez Band - "Rocket 88"

Movie recorded at a concert in Compiegne, France in February 2010.

Mike Sanchez is a Rhythm and Blues singer, pianist and songwriter of Spanish-English heritage. He is widely known for his work with the Big Town Playboys and Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, and also for his highly-successful solo career. He is highly-acclaimed for his authenticity to the work of post-war blues shouters and piano players.

"Rocket 88" was the opening song on a great night of good old Rock 'n' Roll, Ryhthm & Blues and Boogie Woogie Piano Music in central France. Whilst Mike is undoubtedly the main driving force and 'head-honcho' of the Band, the other musicians are all top-notch pros and I found it a nice touch they were all introduced and name checked at the very start of the show.

I like Sanchez. That's All Right (Mama)" is the 1st Rock &  Roll song. ("Rocket '88" rocks out, but is a fast shuffle blues. Rock is 2/4 time) Based on that (and much more) Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (Crew'-duhp) who first began doing his music that way is (if any one-only can be named such) the actual "Father of Rock. What sucks is: Arthur NEVER was inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, under 'Influences', even though so MANY he influenced in one way or another have been! And he never got a royalty
