- A great documentary about the origins and evolution of boogie woogie music. Great footage, playing and information!
This aired on British ITV originally in 1986, but then was aired on PBS in America in the early 1990's which is when I recorded it onto VHS.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the years.

RIP Charlie Watts.
Hey thanks so much professor. I got your green book, been playing about four months. I played guitar for a while, so you make it easy to follow. I learned some Hannon exercises to build dexterity. I’m up to lick 7 in your book! Really progressing… I only listen to Big Maceo, and Otis Spann, and I just found Charlie Spand that helps. Really appreciate you sir.
It aired around 1986 MCMLXXXVI in credits, great show thanks for sharing.
Great catch! I'll add it the video description
This is a fantastic documentary!!
Great documentary!

Where can I find the original footage of the men dancing at 1:10?
I just got your book. I"m just in the "tools" you will need section, but your explanation of how to use the book is great...and while only a few pages in, you have already clarified some things I expected..thank you for the time and the effort you put into eductating.
That's great I'm glad it's already answering some questions! Thank you Chuck.
Thanks So Much Arthur, Great & important History!! I subscribed a couple weeks ago; you have inspired me to play & I just bought a new keyboard. Fun Stuff!!
Tim that is excellent to hear! Enjoy your new keyboard and playing boogie!
What is the record playing at 35:50? It sounds so familiar but i cannot place the tune or pianist. I almost hear a hint of gershwins rialto ripples
And Watching Them
I’m just gonna work on the last one. It’s doable.
This is great Arthur. The footage of Tuts, Allen and Fess is awesome. Looked it up and it's from [1982] Piano Players Rarely Ever Play Together. Also on YT.
Who is that pianist who appears at 22:19 in the video, wearing the white sport coat, white hat with the dark band around it, and the sunglasses? I could not figure what the announcer said for the name.
Okay upon repeating that part of the video, the name is "Big Joe Duskin".
You need to remake this documentary and complete the natural process of Boogie Woogie. It was inspired by the french forts from Alabama and Mississippi black prairie belt. When plantation owners began having cake walk parties for slaves and later share croppers, the Boogie woogie take a new life and spread to Texas and up north to St Louis and Chicago. James Reese Europe whose parents were from the Black Prairie Belt influenced Ammon, Lewis and others.
Inspiration and creation are two different things. Boogie Woogie is a derivative of blues and was definitely created in Northeast Texas.
Thanks Arthur; most interesting.
17:50 Mary Lou Williams
27:56 Cab Calloway
44:20 Charlie Watts on drums🙂
Thank you for pointing that out. I was checking to see if others had picked that up or if I was mistaken. Nope. Cab Calloway is always fun to watch.
@@johnprentice1527 You are welcome :-)

Hmm, good question! I can't quite make it out so it's hard to tell...
