Summary of This Book
This collection brings together 12 iconic pieces centered around boogie-woogie and blues, with very contrasting atmospheres: energetic binary pulse, shuffle swing, and even a 6/8 feel to broaden the rhythmic palette. It features classics that evoke the vibe of clubs and "barrelhouse" pianos, as well as more original tunes designed to develop groove and playing personality.
The table of contents takes you from the "3/4 6/8 boogie" (excellent for refining the ternary feel) to essentials like "Boogie Woogie on the Saint Louis Blues", "Honky Tonk Train Blues", and "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie", not forgetting "Cow Cow Boogie" and "Weary Blues". Each piece offers an opportunity to work on key style elements: bass patterns, left-hand accents, triplets, right-hand riffs, accents, breaks, and pickups.
Thanks to the diversity of the pieces (for example, "Five Finger Boogie" for precision and endurance, "Triplets Bass Boogie" for ternary regularity, or "Louisiana Glide" for phrasing), this book is suitable both for study and for playing for pleasure. It provides an excellent foundation to develop hand independence, solidify timing, and build an immediately musical boogie-woogie/blues repertoire.
