Ich habe Axel schon mehrfach live erleben dürfen. Das letzte Mal war es 2020 im Kurpark in Sasbachwalden. Kurz vorher traf ich ihn zufällig in meinem Heimatort - er war auf der Durchreise zum Konzert am Abend.
Hi, I have Axel's book, so I know how much work there is in learning these pieces, so I congratulate you, you've done very well. I really hope you will be posting more in the future. It's also a big help to have a good view of your playing it helps me get the rythym. Keep up the great work. Greg, ( Australia )
Thank you, Greg, for your comments. Indeed, the songs from Axel are not easy and to play them is not a thing of few days. Very helpful is also to hear to his music. In addition to his book there is a CD with the same songs called "Boogie Woogie live". My next piece to work on is "Sunset Special". It is a little bit slower, but very melodious and with a good blues feeling. Regards, Gunter
Hi, yes I have the CD, without it I would be completely lost. When it comes to boogie woogie and Blues I find it essential to have a recording, It is one kind of music where the rythm and the beat can be very different from how the notes look on paper. I also have The Real Blues and Boogie Buch, by Christian Willison. This is also very very excellent sheet music and comes with a CD. If you don't have this already, I highly recommend it. You can get it from Amazon.
You're a great player and that's a hard tune to do which I do but not in its entirety. If I might say your own great playing is a wee bit regimented. It's difficult to know what to do about that when a person's style is habitual. But you could try playing more ad-lib and that way you can loosen up a bit. Sorry perhaps just a pointless observation, but happy playing...
And if you're interested you can hear me playing if you type in 'Me at Hendersons starts at 30' and then at the pub if you type in 'Battering the boogie' all no visual just audio...
Ha ha thank you bud, so are you. But I can't play that tune 'Boogie be with me' like you do. I have composed what I call 'The Jezzy boy boogie' though if you're interested you can type it in and find it...
And I didn't compose it pre-determinedly rather than just sort of made it up and had taped what I had made up then gave it a name of its own. But I suppose that could also be termed composition just that I only do it my way and couldn't really do it any other...
Ich habeAxel zuletzt im Ernst-Deutsch-Theater gesehen und gehört. Es war ganz z prima.😊

Thank you, this is an incentive for me to boogie on.

Thanks so much for the great view of your fingering! That's been my main problem with this piece.
If You play 'em,I'll listen.

You play it "White & Tight" but I like it.
Not too dissimilar really,from the easy precision of say,Freddie Slack.
Thank you for comparing my playing with the high talented Freddie Slack and I have to add: "Yes, but Ella Mae Morse is missing ;-)".
Mr2Klang You are most welcome.And I'm a big Ella Mae Morse fan as well.

Juniper Wood Green Thank you for your comment. Hmm, I think I know what you mean. May be my next piece will be easier ☺
And if you're interested you can hear me playing if you type in 'Me at Hendersons starts at 30' and then at the pub if you type in 'Battering the boogie' all no visual just audio...
You are an excellent piano player - ragtime and boogie, too.
Ha ha thank you bud, so are you. But I can't play that tune 'Boogie be with me' like you do. I have composed what I call 'The Jezzy boy boogie' though if you're interested you can type it in and find it...
Juniper Wood Green I have listened to your composition and it's really great. Composing Boogie is not easy. Do you have a sheet of it?
No but I can arrange something close to it as it was ad-lib back then and when I do I will let you know. Is that ok with you? ...
And I didn't compose it pre-determinedly rather than just sort of made it up and had taped what I had made up then gave it a name of its own. But I suppose that could also be termed composition just that I only do it my way and couldn't really do it any other...
Check out Cory Henry playing Na na na na na na na na. You'll lurve it...
Great that organ playing. When I began playing I started with an organ - it was a Phillips Philicorda. Never succeded to a Hammond :-)
Great but get rid of the beat box...
Thank you for your comment. The "Beat Box" is my foot - clapping the rhythm ... :-)
