Like British-born boogie player Carl Sonny Leyland, Zwingenberger writes a lot of his own material. It must be said, however, that Leyland has strayed much further from the straight path of boogie-woogie than his German colleague. This includes the releases where he restricts himself to the role of backing pianist of a legend. The majority of these recordings has been issued on Axel's own Vagabond label, which, unfortunately, has poor distribution outside the German-speaking countries. Readers who share my love for the piano, but don't know too much about boogie woogie, would be well advised to try a compilation by the two masters of the genre, Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson.
Most record shops file boogie woogie under jazz.
A whole new world of listening and collecting enjoyment might open for you.
