Collection: Boogie-Woogie

Boogie-Woogie is a vibrant and energetic genre of music that originated in the early 20th century, characterized by its driving, rhythmic piano style and infectious beat. Rooted in blues traditions, particularly Piano Blues and Louisiana Blues, it evolved to incorporate elements of Swing and Jump Blues, creating a sound that's both danceable and emotionally charged. The genre's influence can be heard in various offshoots, including the twangy, upbeat Rockabilly and the more countrified Country Boogie. Boogie-Woogie pianists often showcase their skills through impressive techniques like Stride and Barrelhouse Piano, while the genre's raw, unpolished cousin, Honky-Tonk Piano, brings a gritty edge to the style. With its connections to New Orleans Blues, Boogie-Woogie captures the spirit of the American South, blending soulful melodies with irresistible rhythms that continue to inspire musicians and audiences alike.
