For some time, Europe has been producing some of the finest boogie-woogie pianists in the world, and here's another one: Vanessa Gnaegi, from Switzerland, who goes by the name Ladyva. Here she is playing her own original composition, "Steam Train Boogie".
Bonus video! Hungarian-born pianist Cili Marsall is another very talented boogie-ologist. Watch her fingers flying through an arrangement of Albert Ammons' "Boogie Woogie Stomp".
Oh, Vanessa is good! That tune almost had me dancing. But the broom wasn't handy .....
ReplyDeleteSomething in the water in Switzerland.

Yeah, heavy metal Mighty Quinn.
It's a foot stomper, no doubt about it.
