Boogie Woogie Improvisation by John Tennison (AKA Nonjohn), December 9, 2009

My name is John Tennison (AKA Nonjohn). In this video I improvise Boogie Woogie while using a real-time tuning system that I developed, which I call "Mandala Modulation." If you like the video, let me know, and I can post more. See www.nonjohn.com for more details on my music. If you are interested in the history of Boogie Woogie, see the Boogie Woogie Foundation website at www.bowofo.org, the most comprehensive source of freely available information on the Internet about the history of Boogie Woogie.

F**'n wicked left hand!! Superb boogie. Alternate tuning reminds me a bit of Isao Tomita. I've heard "Both Hands Like the Devil" at your site. It would be great to see you perform it here on youtube, too! Thanks for sharing this! Look forward to hearing/seeing more from you. Hurry!

Nonjohn is THE BEST Boogie Woogie player that I have seen on YouTube. He should be crowned the modern-day King of Boogie Woogie. Dont take my word for it. Compare him to anything else out there. His Boogie Woogie exhibits a complexity in a class by itself. A good Boogie Woogie player can sound like two people playing at the same time, yet Nonjohn sounds like FOUR people playing at the same time! His "Both Hands Like the Devil" at his Nonjohn website is another example of what I mean. LOVE IT!
