Boogie Woogie Boss , do you ever have seen Ben Toury ? Playing with Brendan Kavanagh ? AMAZING for me , to see him. And you ever heard of Pia Beck ? From holland.
I always wanted to play my piano like u people.l have been practicing 65 years at least.I'am still practicing.THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YALL' S TALENT.May ouer Lord bless u all and keep u strong and well Halalua.
Sorry for the delay, didn’t expect a question on lessons from this video. Have you tried some of the tutorial videos? What level are you? Beginner/ intermediate?
Ladyva's playing is absolutely magical, coupled with her magical ability to swap her bracelet from one wrist to the other whilst playing is an astounding skill
Good one Cliff. Surprised her dress didn't change to multi coloured floral as well. They must've edited and mixed and matched for sound quality reasons or something similar.
Totally agree. I think she deserves a better place than 5th. In my opinnion, the right ranking should be 5) Stephanie Trick; 4) Dona Oxford; 3) Ladyva; 2) Winifred Atwell; 1) Martha Davis.
I am surprised Ladyva being fifth. She has a flow that is magical and to watch, it is not merely her hands playing but all of her - she is totally into her own play and that makes her number one, I say.
I would love to see the last lady in the red shirt and black skirt play with Dr K Boogie Woogie! I've already seen the first lady play with Dr K and she is awesome! Love this music!
The right speed is great point, even the great Meade lux Lewis succumbed to trying to play too fast in the end. It’s important to be able to hear those rolls and feel the swing.
Thank you--my soul instantly recognized Ladyva as my twin flame! ...and she acknowledged it in her song/video "To Whom Do I Want To Lie" (remember, she's Swiss, thinking in German) ❤I don't want this to end, Vanessa! ☦
Sheesh, that Dona Oxford is not only a boogie woogie master but a great showwoman! They're all great in this vid. Thanks for creating/sharing it, Boss.
She is awesome, never new bout her till show on New Orleans La. Smoking that key board , would have luv to seen her jam with Killer Jerry lee Lewis in his younger days They would have knock your socks Off lol 😝, God bless them both
I had to smile. My mother played the Bumble Bee Boogie. She was born in Iowa in 1918 and grew up in the Roaring Twenties. I think playing boogie woogie was a small act of rebellion, a way of telling her parents that she would make her own choices.
I think this is one of the best comments I have ever received for a video. That’s why I play, teach and broadcast boogie woogie, so glad it connected with you Steve and a great story. Maybe we have some similar experience from other viewers?
HalleluYAH! All amazing YAH given talent, no doubt there... love the performance from Martha Davis and the bassist, ohhhhh man.... but all these ladies are brilliant artists.
I love Lady Va, but Dona is just the heart and soul of Boogie Woogie. Her performance just bounces every time. If you see someone playing boogie woogie and they're not bouncing and smiling, they're just not in that zone.
She is one of the top 10 in my library of misic ranging from A-Z, I can't stop listening to her, when I listen to someone else, I end up back to LADYVA!!!
Boogie woogie absolutely is a way to express the soul of the one expressing their "Boogie". I love it, and i WISH really hard that i will learn to play the piano(I am just playing the guitar(Electric,Acoustic, and some kind of Air guitar if i must) Haha 😄😄
.... they are all great ... but ... Miss Ladyva's left hand is a "force of nature" ... it is like the Union Pacific's #4014 ... the "Big Boy" ... the most powerful steam engine ever built that ran/runs on the RR tracks of the USA, to this day ... Powerful and Relentless !!!! ... AWESOME !!! ... and then there is that SMILE !!!
These phenomenal women are literally blowing my mind! The talent. individuality, incredible skill, dedication and time it would have taken to play like that...
The first lady that played, I thought , by golly she is as beautiful as the music she plays. I was tappin my toes and boopin my head to the beat, and she smiled and I thought damn she is good. She's extremely great at Boogie Woogie and off the charts beautiful.
And she does that AMAZING magic trick where her bracelet keeps switching from her left wrist to her right wrist and back, all while playing the piano. She should bring that trick to Penn and Teller.
My Mum was a great pianist who had been classically taught, and she was a big fan of Winifred Atwell. Whenever Mum played the Boogie Woogie we kids had to sit in the windows to see if our grandparents were coming along the road. If we saw them we would immediately warn Mum and she would change to playing Rock of Ages . They were big church people and did not approve of such decadent music as the Boogie Woogie.
Wow, incredible. My two favorites: Stephanie Trick has that cool confidence with ice in her veins. She quickly plays a few chords in the middle that have the richness of Oscar Peterson. Dona Oxford is the bomb. She owns the stage with her style and energy.
No.5 , got my vote for no.1, but, they all are phenomenal musicians, but, the grace and the beautiful atmosphere of the lighting, the settings, the way the keys flowed beneath her fingers, like fine silk rustling in the breeze. Did I mention that she was HOT!. It did it for me. A class A act. Simply beautiful....
Ladyva est tellement exceptionnelle car elle joue avec un grand talent mais surtout avec son coeur. Et c'est pourquoi je peux l'écouter jour et nuit et jamais je ne m'en lasse. Ce n'est pas seulement une façon technique de jouer mais avec tout son être. Une des plus grande pianiste que j'aime, en plus elle est Suisse et de Saint Domingue, ce qui fait d'elle une personnalité des plus merveilleuse que je connaisse. Exceptionnel. J'aime Menphis Slim, Jelly Roll Morton, Lill Ardin, Jerry Lee Lewis.... Mais Vanessa est dans la court des grand.
Hello, Thanks SO much for showcasing the Ladies of Boggie Woogie. I'm 72. In1955, @ 5yrs old, my Gramma Eliza Langley would play me the Music she said she would play at the "Speak Easy" joints she went to when she was young. It was this "Boogie Woogie'"Music that no one approved of then. I've always loved it and admire the people who could play it well. Thank you for high lighting this great music of my/our "Yout" I literally Cry with joy when I hear it well played like this!! cheers Richard Langley La Mesa, Ca PS; Nanna Langley (RIP) would be proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mercy, I was just heading for bed when I hit this video. Now wide awake and read to Party. The energy in these ladies playing is astounding to say the least. Boogie will never die
In terms of performances, my top two favorites in this are indeed Martha Davis and Stephanie Trick. AFAIK Ms Davis is IMPROVISING and Stephanie is PLAYING A TRANSCRIPTION, but I’ll be damned if she doesn’t NAIL that transcription perfectly, with the right feel and everything.
Dona Oxford, the Jimi Hendrix of the boogie woogie piano; her energy is astounding as is the beauty of the two young ladies with her. May she never get arthritic fingers or else she'll have to start playing a slow waltz
Just a note to say a huge thank you to everyone for subscribing to the channel and liking this video. Your continued support will lead to lots more wonderful Boogie-Woogie content. Boogie Woogie Boss
Boogie Woogie Boss , do you ever have seen Ben Toury ? Playing with Brendan Kavanagh ? AMAZING for me , to see him. And you ever heard of Pia Beck ? From holland.
Hans P, yes they feature first up in my boogie woogie duets video. It’s amazing, check it out. th-cam.com/video/FlQw68rkF7g/w-d-xo.html
I always wanted to play my piano like u people.l have been practicing 65 years at least.I'am still practicing.THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING YALL' S TALENT.May ouer Lord bless u all and keep u strong and well Halalua.
May I have a piano lesson from you?
Sorry for the delay, didn’t expect a question on lessons from this video. Have you tried some of the tutorial videos? What level are you? Beginner/ intermediate?

😂
Good one Cliff. Surprised her dress didn't change to multi coloured floral as well. They must've edited and mixed and matched for sound quality reasons or something similar.
😅
Yes she could easily varnish her nails too whilst playing. 😂❤❤❤❤
Totally agree. I think she deserves a better place than 5th. In my opinnion, the right ranking should be 5) Stephanie Trick; 4) Dona Oxford; 3) Ladyva; 2) Winifred Atwell; 1) Martha Davis.
They are all good and have unique individual style. It’s not right to put one against the other. My favorite is Ladyva!
I am surprised Ladyva being fifth. She has a flow that is magical and to watch, it is not merely her hands playing but all of her - she is totally into her own play and that makes her number one, I say.
Let’s face it they are all great in their very different ways. Thanks for supporting the channel, it great to hear so much love for boogie woogie.
I agree, she is awesome!!!!
Agreed......
Very good thank you for making are day 🤗
Not taking anything away from her, but Dona's performance is just on another level
I am a Ladyva fan and watch every evening. Of course I think she is #1.
My favorite Ladyva you are the Best , you have class girl your music rocks my world.
She made me go and buy a piano
Now I wish you would come to my house and teach me how to play it
I,am 81 this women is the Queen of Boogie ***********************makes me feel 21 Greet,no one is better than her!
good i hear from someone who knows. Thank you. i say for some time she is the best
@@ronnyl5773 81 also, boss, ladyva is far and away the best. As good as Paul Revere on Gardena in 61,62.
Ladyva is my number one all day & every day !!
me too
My favorite is Ladyva. She plays GREAT piano AND can magically move her bracelet from one arm to the other between notes.
LOL!
She makes a great video, her director was probably the reason for that, not her. Her talent was flawless.... director, not so much....
Very good!!
🙄😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's magic ..
Too funny.
Ladyva is till my fave and I am 84 and have heard it all.
I'm glad to hear that - she knocked me out with her playing - best I've hear in 60 years!
I frankly never imagined piano music can be this...danceable...i love woogie boogie...!
Wow!! What a left hand Martha Davis!! Jaw dropping!!
For me one of the best Boogie Woogie players. Gongratulations Ladyva.
WE SAW LADYVA IN 2015 , ON THE JERRY LEE LEWIS ,LONDON SHOW. SHE WAS EXCELLENT !! ---- JOHN UK --
ladyva---- magnificent, magical!
I love listening to Lady Va she’s brilliant!
Just recently discovered her and have been totally amazed with her playing. All the ladies on this vid are outstanding.
an understatement amigo
I would love to see the last lady in the red shirt and black skirt play with Dr K Boogie Woogie! I've already seen the first lady play with Dr K and she is awesome! Love this music!
It’s Ladyva for me. She has the right speed, the excellent left hand, the beautiful way of playing proper boogie woogie, and, the looks.
The right speed is great point, even the great Meade lux Lewis succumbed to trying to play too fast in the end. It’s important to be able to hear those rolls and feel the swing.
And elegance
You said it.. straight up. And well said.....
musicians have another thing going on than us mere mortals...always in awe...thank you
Ladyva is the best l have ever seen she should be number 1
Thank you--my soul instantly recognized Ladyva as my twin flame! ...and she acknowledged it in her song/video "To Whom Do I Want To Lie" (remember, she's Swiss, thinking in German) ❤I don't want this to end, Vanessa! ☦
,φη 😊
Sheesh, that Dona Oxford is not only a boogie woogie master but a great showwoman! They're all great in this vid. Thanks for creating/sharing it, Boss.
Really glad you appreciated it, thanks for supporting the channel and our boogie woogie revival.
She is awesome, never new bout her till show on New Orleans La. Smoking that key board , would have luv to seen her jam with Killer
Jerry lee Lewis in his younger days
They would have knock your socks
Off lol 😝, God bless them both
She is full of life and energy and that’s what we want. humor too hee hee cheeky too! 😊
For me, Ladyva is number one !
Boogie Woogie is just such happy music. Makes you want to dance
Martha Davis 😳😳😳😳😳🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 THE BEST. AMAZINGGGGGGGG.
So clear, clean and perfectly done. Her hands were flying.
Agree with your choices. These women are incredibly talented.
I had to smile. My mother played the Bumble Bee Boogie. She was born in Iowa in 1918 and grew up in the Roaring Twenties. I think playing boogie woogie was a small act of rebellion, a way of telling her parents that she would make her own choices.

Love and Respect to your beloved mum ... Australian fan !
They are all so great it’s so hard to have to choose one but if
I really had to I would pickLa Diva!
HalleluYAH! All amazing YAH given talent, no doubt there... love the performance from Martha Davis and the bassist, ohhhhh man.... but all these ladies are brilliant artists.
LadyVa (Vanessa): Long live to the heroes of music! Thank you very much for such valuable gifts 🙏
I was very familiar with Ladyva, Stephanie Trick and Dona Oxford, but I definitely need to head to the record store for some Martha Davis!
I love Lady Va, but Dona is just the heart and soul of Boogie Woogie. Her performance just bounces every time. If you see someone playing boogie woogie and they're not bouncing and smiling, they're just not in that zone.
was that the last one?
For a non player of any instrument, but a lover of great music, this is magical ! 💐
You could pick up an instrument and work at learning enough to play along a little. It is a lot of fun.
@@kevinhornbuckle Oh no, I tried guitar about four or five times over thirty or forty years, Nada, no talent in these fingers. Thanks.
@@juliojames5986 Try melodica, or harmonica. I play trombone.
You sound like you've got 'A good ear'.
@@kevinhornbuckle I'm a tremendous Harmonica player.
Super. Nico va etre jaloux et Brendan aussi
I really like Dr. K But Donna is flying high with Boogie ! Thank you Donna !!
She is one of the top 10 in my library of misic ranging from A-Z, I can't stop listening to her, when I listen to someone else, I end up back to LADYVA!!!
Same here ! I even found a video of her playing with Boogie Woogie guru, Brenden Kavanagh on his YT channel. It was quite amazing !
The bass player is looking in awe of Dona Oxford . That is some outstanding playing right their and shes doing it all standing up 😊
Dona.....wow what an entertainer she is!!!
Boogie woogie absolutely is a way to express the soul of the one expressing their "Boogie". I love it, and i WISH really hard that i will learn to play the piano(I am just playing the guitar(Electric,Acoustic, and some kind of Air guitar if i must) Haha 😄😄
Dang, that chic at the end = WOW!!!!!!
Dona oxford. #1! Thanks dona from christos kourlos! I learned drums from Mr. Buddy rich! Goat!
You are piano goat!
Poetry in motion, don't stop Ma'am and the rest of you talented Ladies. God Bless you for freeing our troubled souls.
Thanks
.... they are all great ... but ... Miss Ladyva's left hand is a "force of nature" ... it is like the Union Pacific's #4014 ... the "Big Boy" ... the most powerful steam engine ever built that ran/runs on the RR tracks of the USA, to this day ... Powerful and Relentless !!!! ... AWESOME !!! ... and then there is that SMILE !!!
My Hobby Boogie Woogie Song, very Goods Keyboardis
These phenomenal women are literally blowing my mind! The talent. individuality, incredible skill, dedication and time it would have taken to play like that...
Donna & Ladyva absolutely tear it up!! Love it! 🔥🎹🎹🔥🤟❤️🎼🎵🎹🤟🤟😜😎🤟
Winefred Atwell - Holy Moly .. off-the-charts Good Stuff! (All outstanding musicians!)
Agreed she was something else 🤠
All of these women are fantastic! Dona Oxford gets the vote for insane energy...
The first lady that played, I thought , by golly she is as beautiful as the music she plays. I was tappin my toes and boopin my head to the beat, and she smiled and I thought damn she is good. She's extremely great at Boogie Woogie and off the charts beautiful.
And she does that AMAZING magic trick where her bracelet keeps switching from her left wrist to her right wrist and back, all while playing the piano. She should bring that trick to Penn and Teller.
dona has the jerry lee look, and why not, if one can play like those two, one can look any way they want to...great stuff
Vanessa, ......... there is no need to say more. Boogie Woogie redefined, love you girl. Hugs from Mobile, Al. Rick
LOVE Boogie Woogie and these ladies do a killer job
.
My Mum was a great pianist who had been classically taught, and she was a big fan of Winifred Atwell. Whenever Mum played the Boogie Woogie we kids had to sit in the windows to see if our grandparents were coming along the road. If we saw them we would immediately warn Mum and she would change to playing Rock of Ages . They were big church people and did not approve of such decadent music as the Boogie Woogie.
Stories like this are amazing, it’s had to think this music was once so controversial. Thanks for supporting the channel and best wishes.
Yes, at one time, you didn't play this music in public,or, certain people .. it was taboo...
Back in the day, If one don't dig de Boogie:, one is Square.
PS. Those ladies are just amazing, to say the least. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting. 😂👍
Not being disrespectful but your mum is someone I would love to meet. I play blues guitar but love the boogie woogie piano
Now this is special. If children got to see this video it could inspire them to no end.
My favorite , is Dona Oxford. I like her style. I'm a fan of Dona. Ladyva is a beautiful women , and plays excelent.
Bin begeistert
My wife and I saw Dona Oxford at church fund-raising event. She really puts on a show!
Boogie woogie on piano is something different. And I love it!
Many thanks for posting , great to listen to , every time I hear Boogie Woogie my mood changes for the better .
Wow, incredible. My two favorites: Stephanie Trick has that cool confidence with ice in her veins. She quickly plays a few chords in the middle that have the richness of Oscar Peterson. Dona Oxford is the bomb. She owns the stage with her style and energy.
Tha lady va her music was rocking rythum
And the tricks of Art Tatum too in there but I can't quite find them...
Being a trumpet player for 60 yrs I’ve tried emulating Harry James. Still trying. This pianist nails it. !! 10:21
Just fabulous - takes me right back to when my mum 9 sadly departed ) played this and swing , despite being classically trained , Almost 60 years ago
Refuse to judge - all 5 were all great! Loved Martha Davis.
No.5 , got my vote for no.1, but, they all are phenomenal musicians, but, the grace and the beautiful atmosphere of the lighting, the settings, the way the keys flowed beneath her fingers, like fine silk rustling in the breeze. Did I mention that she was HOT!. It did it for me. A class A act. Simply beautiful....
amen
@@joewoodcock6786 I see you are a man of great taste...
Your hands, not to mention your astonishing skills, are amazing and joyful. Thank you. All of you.
Lady Va number one!👍👍
A Big Shout out to you, Boogie Boogie Boss, for bring this out. These ladies are BOSS! Keep on Boogieing!
Doña Oxford is awesome! I saw her live and in person twice with Albert Lee & Hot Roux when they came to my hometown Bakersfield around 2010-11.
The bracelet bit is almost as skilled as the fingers getting the piano to sing that life can be wonderful
Ladyva est tellement exceptionnelle car elle joue avec un grand talent mais surtout avec son coeur. Et c'est pourquoi je peux l'écouter jour et nuit et jamais je ne m'en lasse. Ce n'est pas seulement une façon technique de jouer mais avec tout son être.

Большое спасибо за талант.Наслаждаюсь!!!
Une synchronisation des meilleures, avec un doigté qui fait rêver. Bravissimo
Wow!!! How could anyone not like this?
I love all vintage music and everthing up to, but not including rap,and boogie woogie is near the top,and this is beautiful!
Such fun music, such talented musicians!
Fab!
Hello,
Thanks SO much for showcasing the Ladies of Boggie Woogie.
I'm 72.
In1955, @ 5yrs old, my Gramma Eliza Langley would play me the Music she said she would play at the "Speak Easy" joints she went to when she was young.
It was this "Boogie Woogie'"Music that no one approved of then.
I've always loved it and admire the people who could play it well.
Thank you for high lighting this great music of my/our "Yout"
I literally Cry with joy when I hear it well played like this!!
cheers
Richard Langley
La Mesa, Ca
PS; Nanna Langley (RIP) would be proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is amazing how that bracelet jumps from right wrist to left wrist and back and forth. And during the song.
Good eye
It’s Beautiful video ❤️
Eagle 🦅 eyes 👀
Amazing trick
It is 2 cameras, 1 on each side.
Mercy, I was just heading for bed when I hit this video. Now wide awake and read to Party. The energy in these ladies playing is astounding to say the least. Boogie will never die
Sublime merveilleux epoustouflant ............. Merci les filles!!!!!!
Like you with the band - nasty guy with the camera - we caught it but you have to look very close !! love it
That lady on stage at the community fair is awesome ! She has the fastest fingers I've ever seen ! Great job !
Ladvya is awsome. Great list
I love this boogie woogie music and musicians wow what talent ladies love you all awesome 😂
My favorite too is Ladyva...simply superb
Marcia Ball is still my favorite female piano/keyboard player. Plus, she sings while playing.
That’s a good shout Kathy, she is an all round entertainer.
And she does it with her beautiful legs crossed!😂
Really really a hard shout. Got to say winning atwell
Imagine having a girlfriend that INSITS on playing the boogie! Oh my, that would be my heaven.
All of them amazingly good, but Martha Davis really floored me. The swing, independence, flow… just perfect.
Dona’s actions 😂 and mannerisms 😅 are really something lol
Great job!
Wow that last girl just shredded that keyboard. She's got my vote.
i saw LaDyva last time. it was very good. Now I feel like i`m in heaven
Stephanie Trick is my favorite! She’s talented and classy!
In terms of performances, my top two favorites in this are indeed Martha Davis and Stephanie Trick. AFAIK Ms Davis is IMPROVISING and Stephanie is PLAYING A TRANSCRIPTION, but I’ll be damned if she doesn’t NAIL that transcription perfectly, with the right feel and everything.
These ladies are brilliant! ... The last lady took it very seriously! lol
Amazing!! I played the piano for many years. There's nothing easy about any of that!!! 🔥🔥
That mama jamma was truly awesome! TY
Dona Oxford, the Jimi Hendrix of the boogie woogie piano; her energy is astounding as is the beauty of the two young ladies with her. May she never get arthritic fingers or else she'll have to start playing a slow waltz
I’m sure she’ll have a lot to say even with a waltz!
@@andrewbarrett1537 I don't really get where you're coming from here.
no joke the first and second players are the best hands down. they were rightly put in the list. просто акуитительно играют буги-вуги
Great musianes🤔😎😊
Donna hands down! Music runs through her whole body!
Thanks so much for the Martha Davis footage, heard her playing before, but not seen her perform. I think all these ladies are simply amazing.
The third gal, on stage BLEW MY MIND! Gawd...her talent....stunned me!
