Boogie-woogie made up on the spot by Carl Sonny Leyland

For his solo portion at the finale concert of the 10th annual Sutter Creek Ragtime Festival, pianist Carl Sonny Leyland decided to play something entirely new.

You can't get newer than making something up as you go along! He just sat down and started playing, to see what came out. This is the result.

This is completely an improvisation.

See Carl's web site -- http://www.carlsonnyleyland.com -- for information about his recordings and future performances.

...and who has a good title for this boogie?

Seems like they like this one in Sweden, so you could call it, "Carl's Svenska Boogie"! or "Shipping out to Stockholm"!

For those impressed by "making up on the spot" ability, recommend you having a look at Eeco Rijken Rapp
