Thanks for posting! I'm learning about boogie woogie and Meade Lux Lewis was apparently the GOAT of that piano style, able to improvise for an hour at a time. His biggest song, Honky Tonk Train Blues, is the perfect example is a style born among workers in the new train yards of the 1870s American South and inspired by the sounds they heard around them all day. Fun anecdote: When, having just fled Nazi-occupied Europe at the age of 68, the great Dutch painter Mondrian first heard boogie-woogie in New York City, his reaction was: “Enormous! Enormous!”
Does anyone know of any transcriptions for this music. I'm trying to learn how to play this, but just listening doesn't work so well for me. I need to see something written down.
