I've been listening to boogie woogie for decades and believe that Henri Herbert is the greatest boogie woogie pianist in the history of the genre. No one paid me to write this.
The greatest pianist of all time is Oscar Peterson, and I'm sure Henri would agree with that too. Oscar's talent was on a whole different level, but I agree Henri is a superb pianist.
In music, the moniker "the best" is like it is in cooking.....it's a matter of taste. Like the old saying, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." The "best" is in the listener's ear.
I’m in my 30’s mate and just heard this for the first time and discovered I love brass , drums and piano music! I hate my generation and the way we live in 2023.. I’m so glad you got to experience the good old days mate. Much love from Australia
My wife is just now learning how to play piano and saying how hard it is to learn. I showed her the video of Henri playing the public piano at the St. Pancras train station in London. She stared at the video and all the while saying “Oh My God.” My sentiments exactly.
It's not often that a musical prodigy lives in our time, his playing could animate the dead. I swear his piano needs a cigarette afterwards, the man is a king ❤
I’ve never heard anyone play piano like this guy ! Is he “The Robert Johnson Of Pianoforte” ? He has that “one man band Bass Line” going at the same time as the Rhythm Lines in the Right Hand, and talk about changing it up , and keeping it going, sheeesh. The video of him in the Mall doing the Boogie Woogie was what brought me here to watch this video. I don’t play piano in particular, but I know Amazing when I see it and here it, and this is it ! Remarkable, that’s all I can say. Thank you for the experience, “Guitar Player”.
I'm honored to be nominated for best pianist in the Austin Music Awards. Anyone in the U.S. (and anyone in the world with a 5-digit zip code) can vote now at: bit.ly/ama_vote I moved to Austin nearly three years ago to immerse myself in the city's music scene, a true mecca for the sounds and energy that I love. And this is exactly what I've done, playing many hundreds of shows in and around the city. Winning an Austin Music Award would be mean a lot. Thank you to all for your support! -Henri
you make me tap my foot, shake my hips, tap on the table, and most of all uplift my spirits which are higher then most people, keep rocking it Henri love your style and spirit
I agree with MarkBlass. Been listening to boogie woogie for most of my 80 years. Never heard anyone better, or even close. That includes the great old timers like Albert Hammond.
MAAAAAHHHvelous!!! I sprained 3 fingers & my left middle toe just watching this superlative performance, & I was sitting down. It’s worth it…they will heal eventually. Many thanks to all involved for this coolness. 👏🏾👏🏻👏🏽👏
I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to play boogies until I tried.wow! This man is a strong machine... it’s piano acrobatics. Love 💚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💚👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Boogie is how I started interest in playing the piano when about 6yrs old...I can still see myself at that age, sitting on my Grandma's steps listening to Buss across the street...Has always been my fave...
If I am not mistaken that looks like 60p video quality! Great to see this wonderful talent play again, as always a pleasure! Congrats on the new shows too! 🌹👍🎶🌟
Just as I was beginning to think "I might be able play this," I realised I'd turned the playback speed down to 0.75. Now it's back to normal, I know for certain I can't play this. Great Boogie, Henri.
It's amazing to watch and I can only imagine a full house packed to the roof with this guy in the center stage! Love it! Your truly a gifted pianist Mr. Henri Herbert!
Foraske me, Henri, for my comarision. This is ELITE DnB in piano ! It's so amazing, so outstanding, that a have no words to say it in human words ! Gershwine bless You !! Thans in all advance !!!
Hi Henri I saw one of your other videos of you playing in a mall maybe, and your style reminds me of Jerry Lee Lewis but better. I loved it , love that style so keep it up young man us old timers love to see this style of music preserved . God bless brother

Agreed. I listen to a lot of other boogie woogie artists but Henri 100% blows them all out of the water. 😉
I agree with both of you :)
The greatest pianist of all time is Oscar Peterson, and I'm sure Henri would agree with that too. Oscar's talent was on a whole different level, but I agree Henri is a superb pianist.

Yes I love to hear Henri play. He’s one of the best. He and Ben Toury would sound great together.
My arms would've exploded after that. I never understand how they keep up that left hand for so long!
If Boogie Woogie was in the charts this world would be a much better place
So true lol
Yes, it would
I am 80 years old and have heard a lot of boogie-woogie in my life but Henri Herbert is by far the best I have ever heard bar none
I’m in my 30’s mate and just heard this for the first time and discovered I love brass , drums and piano music! I hate my generation and the way we live in 2023.. I’m so glad you got to experience the good old days mate. Much love from Australia
Ditto.

This makes me HAPPY...after listening to a sh*ty day of news.
TIP--- dont watch the news!!! It is ALL LIES and PROPAGANDA. Stopped watching News/ Tv / Papers years ago. You tube ONLY!!
Imagine listening to this whilst driving your car! You get there in half the time and loose your licence to boot!! Absolutely epic!
I play his music in my tracker trailer all day long, He makes a long day of driving, pass with ease.
I concur, awesome, i'm sucked into a black whole of melody
Hes captured the essence of joy boy in this im certain
LOL and still rolling on the floor.
you hit the nail on the head, I could not drive the speed limit listening to this, way to hyper and a drug to my ears emotion and soul, loving it
It's not often that a musical prodigy lives in our time, his playing could animate the dead. I swear his piano needs a cigarette afterwards, the man is a king ❤
Beautiful. The piano needs to “take five” after that!!! 😂
Henri Herbert is such a talented gem of a pianist. His boogie-woogie is amazing and some of the best I’ve heard
This guy is beyond great. I listen to his music constantly. His boogies keep me young at heart.
This man should be booked on every world wide musical venue. He's the geatest piano player ever. Especially boogie woogie player.
Absolutely, the greatest of all time.
I was privileged enough to see Henry's gig at the August Blues Festival in Estonia. Absolute gold. 👍🔥💙
Whoa!!...I reckon, that one could calibrate an atomic clock to that left hand Boogie!
I’ve never heard anyone play piano like this guy !
Is he “The Robert Johnson Of Pianoforte” ?

One day I am sure that Henri's piano will spontaneously combust and that day will be the greatest day ever.
Must be in Texas with that tan

Would love to hear him live.
I agree with MarkBlass. Been listening to boogie woogie for most of my 80 years. Never heard anyone better, or even close. That includes the great old timers like Albert Hammond.
Hi, whats your take on Jörg Hegemann? I’ve listen a duo with him Lesse Jensen and it made rethink everything I’ve listen before.
The way this dudes hands effortlessly glide around the keyboard with such pace and timing accuracy is truly breath-taking. An incredible pianists!!!
God that man can sure play a mean boogie woogie.
Kick It, Henri!! From Caldwell, Idaho. You "shred those 88's!"
