Boogie Woogie vol. 2 REPOST (2003)

Rappel préliminaire : le boogie woogie (onomatopée probablement ferroviaire) naquit à Chicago dans les années 20, comme une codification urbaine d’une manière d’interpréter le blues ; fondé sur une basse ambulante jouée en ostinato à la main gauche, la droite était ainsi "libérée de toute fonction rythmique" ; ses plus fameux représentants furent Pine Top Smith (1898-1951), Pete Johnson (1904-67), Meade Lux Lewis (1905-64), Albert Ammons (1907-49), Sammy Price (1908-90) ; son influence fut considérable sur les créateurs de rhythm’n’blues et de rock & roll… ainsi que sur les orchestres de jazz (dont certains firent les beaux soirs et les interminables nuits dansantes du club Savoy) ici présentés.
