- This is the last part of the History of Boogie Woogie from the South Bank Show in England 1986, Part 4. Featuring many short clips of artist such as Lafayette Leaque, Big Joe Duskin, Bob Hall, George Green and world renown Axel Zwingenberger from Germany, all play at the same time on two grand pianos. And look for Charlie Watts (drummer for the Rolling Stones) backing everyone up on percussion.
The stand-up bass player is Dave Green who is part of the band called the ABC&D of Boogie Woogie (much thanks to 123456sieben8 for this info). It stands for Axel, Ben, Charlie and Dave! If you live in Europe, don't miss seeing them!
Thank God for the internet. The new library of Alexandria. Where else would I have found this just 30 years ago! Thanks for posting!
I just came back to gice some love to Charlie Watts
Absolute Klasse.
Wollte Axel immer mal mit Charlie erleben, jetzt geht es nicht mehr 😔
Charlie Watts on drums on Axel's set! Whoa!
THANK YOU! I'd forgotten about this series. I've been a self-taught musician for a couple of decades & am now really starting to more urgently embrace the importance of my ethnic heritage and am vowing to my ancestors to absorb, reproduce, elaborate upon, & bequeath to our next generation as much of our culture as possible.
Nice to see Charlie W on drums as well - keeping the form alive....
What else can be said but Axel Zwingenberger kicks ass!!!! Those left hands he cranks out.....unreal.
I'm 61 and still jammin on boogie after all these years. Probably the first music I recognized as music and I still love it.
Absolutely Incredible and informative.
RIP Mr. Watts
It sucks that Axel is under a recording contract that does not allow him to have more of his playing and live performances available to the public.
Now THAT is music!
l would give my teeth to play alongside these guys...lf l could just figure out where l've left them !
Teleport me back in time to boogie with all these good folk !!!
This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for posting:)
Oh, Wow! Eight hands! (Hmmm... that's how many I'm gonna need, if I'm ever to get "Cross Hands Boogie " sounding half-way competent.)
Thank you for posting this. I didn't get to see it, back in the day.
Never saw a 4 person boogie. ❤
Thank you very much for the bass players name! I will post it now. I would love to book the ABC&D of Boogie Woogie. Unfortunately I'm a long way off, Texas! But in my town we have one of the most beautiful nostalgic restored theaters in the country called the Paramount built back in the 20's. A great place for live music. If they ever come to the states, I would love to book them. I've never heard if Axel plays the states except for the time he was here in the 70's perhaps. Thanks again!
Love this
Bob Hall played with Savoy Brown and really brought Boogie music back to Rock and Roll.
Check out "A Step Further" and other Savoy Brown albums that feature Bob Hall.
thanks a million, mr. towerscope ... btw, lafayette´s surname is actually leake.
Just the black mans ,can restitue the authancitie vibrations of boogiewougie
Axel's got it! And Charlie Watts on drums? WTF?
Axel isn't shy about smacking those keys.....by far the best i have heard yet
Watched all 4 parts, loved this.
I love the history of music (R&R and Blues) and these 4 videos taught me a lot. Thank you.
any real piano, especially one who plays this style, can tell within minutes that Axel, with those unique and ass killing left hand riffs, combined with his right hand grove, is the very best anyone can get at this style. Many of us are in awe when we watch this solo version of him with Charlie Watts. Unfortunately, contractual agreements with recording companies in Germany prohibit him from knowingly be taped or recorded live, so he will not or cannot play when he knows he is being recorded or filmed. I have about 2 hours of him being filmed on VHS tape in the early 90s, up close, trying to figure out those left hands. Watching him live....like witnessing a force of nature. I have 2 hours of rare recordings live. May put on FB but will need his permission first
lars I totally agree. I play and have been working on this first song he does, for years. Still having problems figuring it out! BTW, do you know the name of this particular 1st tune he does??
@@towerscope he probably improvised it. He is that good. One similar to it is El Dorado boogie. He has anyone outstanding one on CD 'power house boogie' but different yet equally as impressive. I think this one was an improvisation. I waited 3 hours on a bar stool near me to see him play live. I was stunned. He did a lot of improvs that seemed super human, then he did requests. Chicago Flyer, Lux's boogie woogie, a few others. It was like seeing Hendrix or one that stands out as the best at a given style. I have VHS tape of that in the early 90s, close up.
lars OMG! I wish you could put that old AXEL tape you speak of up on some viewing site-or even a p to p site. Would love to see this guy someday... but I’m afraid it will be a while before he comes to Texas or I go to Germany! Lol
Thanks-
@@towerscope i can make a copy of the VHS tapes and someone with the technical skills could convert itt to digital. Even seeing it up close, this man has magical hands. He accentuates his rise and strike technique as onl one could after years of practice, but he makes the piano also resemble a drum set, as he suposedly was an aspiring drummer at one point. He came here to Detroit 3 times and I always seemed to get the best seat in the house each time so I have audio recordings as well. Each time, a mind blowing experience.
can anyone help with the song at 2:23?! thanks!
Exenté música y músicos que no volverán
Part four for me with Axel and Big Joe Turner. Does NOT get any better PERIOD. Been working on this for years and can NOT do it! ANYONE with help is encouraged to get a hold of me!
❤🎉
Certainly does not get any better! As a matter of fact, I believe that Charlie Watts is playing with them regularly nowadays....
If this stuff doesn't do anything to you then, there's no hope for you!!!
Is that Charlie Watts' doppleganger on drums!!!!! WTH.
Love this stuff. Watched all 4 parts. Find Henrie's Boogie on TH-cam. You will love that too.
Really? Marc would never talk like that.
And as ever, the TH-cam brain doctors will help you with deletion ;)))
Axel is the king with JP Bertrand coming a close second.
You forgot to mention TEXAS!!!!!
Great stuff! Thanks!
No mention of Jerry Lee? REALLY?
No and right so.
A very young Charlie Watts? WTF is going on?
Yup!! The drummer man's a guy they call Charlie McCoy, the rubber leg boy
Well Charlie is actually a jazz drummer.
Axel Zwingenberger is the only true successor of Ammons,Lewis and Johnson he is the most gifted Boogie pianist of our times.
+Coronado326 What about Meade Lux Lewis? Everybody mentions Ammons and Johnson and they are great but a lot of over lapping with Ammons but if you listen to Lewis's entire repertoire of songs he was the most diverse of the 3. No 2 songs of his sound alike.
Where is Part 2?
Paula Martin, TH-cam took it down, and don’t know exactly why. Am trying to do something about it....sorry
This is a really great series! Thanks so much for posting! I'm trying to start a boogie woogie dance scene in Texas and this helps to get people interested. It's big in Europe but almost nonexistent in the US.
Also, do you think you could post Part 2 somewhere else, like Vimeo, so we can watch it?
my god.....does Axel totally kick ass on this or what? He does it better than Albert Ammons and Meade Lux Lewis
no jerry lee lewis :(
