  • Well done Richard! Just wanted to mention, as no one else seems to have done, that this transcription is from my book IMPROVISING BLUES PIANO, published by Schott Music. It's the last piece (and probably the hardest) in the book! I play it on the CD that comes with the book.

  • Hey Tim.... cool you found this. Your book helped me get from a basic standard to this fairly quickly.

    I have recommended it to many people.

  • hi, great playing... ! nice. what kind of piano sound do you use here? is it an el piano sound?

  • Hi, thanks for you kind comments. It's nord stage 88. The piano sound is a steinway.

  • Great stuff! Very controlled. Check out my version as well. Hey -- absolutely *love* all those flips and switches and buttons and lights on your piano! What type is it?

  • Hey Andre. Thanks for the kind comments :) It's a Nord Stage 88.

  • It's a tough piece to play. That left hand gets tired and slows up trying to keep up with the right hand. I copied it from the original 78 on the piano bench. Got me thrown out of piano lessons for playing jazz. When I got the original sheet music I was really surprised that I wasn't that far off the mark.

  • Kudos!  Extremely well done! You sure know how to boogie, amigo! This is strictly from coolsville, daddy-o! We're all hip to this jive! Keep up the good work!

  • BRAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • My transcription consists of EXCERPTS from the Meade Lux Lewis recording, as Richard has explained. I didn't add anything of my own. You could now try adding some of your own ideas in between the given material. The last 4 bars of each 12 are pretty much identical each time, so the improvisation mainly takes place over the first 8 bars... Good luck!
