Faziolis are getting more attention these days - just talked to Leo v. Knobelsdorff (the grand daddy of German BoogieWoogie) the other day and he confirmed the increasing interest in the 3m monsters they make.
"Bibo" Christian Willisohn was crazy about them 20 years ago - I remember playing with him on a Fazioli in some Bavarian town.
The best grand piano I ever laid my fingers on was a rather small but soft and fast Steinway M from the 1930s, in a musician's home in Colorado - memories..
I'd still go for Bösendorfer if I'd have to play either of the two ;) and I must admit this is one of the rarer occasions where I've seen boogie on a Fazioli. Actually, i've only heard it, never seen it b4. I know Stefan Ulbricht did a cd on a Fazioli 308.. Otherwise at festivals it's usually Steinway, Yamaha & Bösendorfer, i think :)
Just as pyannaguy says: Vince Weber, the icon of German Blues'n'Boogie, still alive and rockin' his licks - but man, he has aged!!
I haven't met or seen him in decades, remember him from the 1970s and 1980s, he was my inspiration all the time, I still tinker with his great compositions today.
Good to know that the "Boogie Man" was not caught by the boogeyman yet!
Keep'em rolling, Vince!
After Bösendorfer the European Boogie Masters seem now to cherish the Fazioli now, interesting...
Vince! I dig this guy. Just check him out on "Vince the Prince" from 1981. We all get old, eh? If we're lucky, that is. Part of me sees it as sad, and part of me says, "That's the way it goes, Jack! At least old Vince is still boogyin' and there's a record of the young Vince tearin' it up like a son of a bitch.
Man, he could rock it! May he live as long as he wants to and want to as long as he lives!
