Can You Define
'Bcogiie-Woogie!
Stage, Screen
Dolores Quotes
Some Authorities
On The Subject
BY DOLORES CALVIN

NEW YORK CITY - (SNS) -
News Service) We've all been
writing a great deal ABOUT boogie
Woogie these days, but can anyone
really give us a definition of the So
called "thing?" Well, never mind,
let's see what some authorities on
boOgie woogie have to say on the
subject. First, Albert Ammons, Cafe
Society Uptown boogie woogiest and
partner of Pete Johnson, says:
"Boogie woogie really is played
definitely from your soul. That's
what boogie Woogie is. You don't
play from your own idea. You play
from your soul. Your right hand is
doing all the improvisin' while your
left hand just tells the story of the
boogie woogie. That's what it is"
But still, what is, it! Ammons
plays it whatever it isl practically
every night at Cafe Society Uptown. |
/ say practically, because they have |
to give him one night off week SO
he won't go crazy with it. Anyway.
AL is a celebrated boogie woogiest
and when he teams up with Pete,
they can tear the house apart!
He begins calm, cool and collected,
With a dum-di-dum- dun beat in the
bass with the left hand, tells his
story with the right and keeps
the bass going like an African TOM
tom. So, whatever boogie woogie |
really is, AL certainly has it! Next !
week, Well see what another author
lty has to say about it.
