- Julian Phillips (UK) and Big John Carter (UK) took to the UK Boogie Woogie Festival stage for an evening of Boogie Woogie piano never heard before. Performers were asked to play an improvised Boogie Woogie number to demonstrate each individuals style and influences. Rob Pokorny (drums) Matt Radford (bass). This number featured in the Friday night concert of the 15th UK Boogie Woogie festival in July 2019.
Julian Phillips and Big John Carter. Made friends with these guys when I went to the Festival in ‘17 and ‘18.
Boogie woogie has more variations than you might think. When you listen to this fine example of what I think is akin to a steam roller moving unstoppable down the road. Powerful. Steady. Julian’s left hand sets the rock solid pace. This is not jazzy boogie woogie like Meade Lux Lewis. This is dirty steady grinding pianos in the basement not a fancy nightclub. I have been listening to boogie woogie my whole life. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT BOOGIE WOOGIE IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE. These two together always just grind the boogie in a very basic satisfying way. They do this all the time. I never get tired of listening.
Greetings from Texas. Big John and Julian: music doesn’t get any better than this. Henri is faster and plays a lot of exotic riffs, but you guys have the perfect boogie woogie rhythm.
Henri of course is probably the most versatile boogie woogie pianist on earth.
Love it.. I practice along side this video.. the tempo is great for that!!
Brilliant, missing you guys, hope it's not too long before we can get back to normal
Fantastic. We'll be moving to nearby Stalbridge Weston next month, so looking forward to future gigs.
Nice one John ! x
