May I have a piano lesson from you?
Sorry for the delay, didn’t expect a question on lessons from this video. Have you tried some of the tutorial videos? What level are you? Beginner/ intermediate?
Ladyva's playing is absolutely magical, coupled with her magical ability to swap her bracelet from one wrist to the other whilst playing is an astounding skill
😂
Good one Cliff. Surprised her dress didn't change to multi coloured floral as well. They must've edited and mixed and matched for sound quality reasons or something similar.
They are all good and have unique individual style. It’s not right to put one against the other. My favorite is Ladyva!
I,am 81 this women is the Queen of Boogie ***********************makes me feel 21 Greet,no one is better than her!
My favorite Ladyva you are the Best , you have class girl your music rocks my world.
I am a Ladyva fan and watch every evening. Of course I think she is #1.
I am surprised Ladyva being fifth. She has a flow that is magical and to watch, it is not merely her hands playing but all of her - she is totally into her own play and that makes her number one, I say.
Let’s face it they are all great in their very different ways. Thanks for supporting the channel, it great to hear so much love for boogie woogie.
I agree, she is awesome!!!!
Agreed......
Very good thank you for making are day 🤗
Not taking anything away from her, but Dona's performance is just on another level
My favorite is Ladyva. She plays GREAT piano AND can magically move her bracelet from one arm to the other between notes.
LOL!
She makes a great video, her director was probably the reason for that, not her. Her talent was flawless.... director, not so much....
Very good!!
🙄😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's magic ..
Too funny.
Ladyva is my number one all day & every day !!
I frankly never imagined piano music can be this...danceable...i love woogie boogie...!
A Big Shout out to you, Boogie Boogie Boss, for bring this out. These ladies are BOSS! Keep on Boogieing!
Ladyva is till my fave and I am 84 and have heard it all.
It’s Ladyva for me. She has the right speed, the excellent left hand, the beautiful way of playing proper boogie woogie, and, the looks.
The right speed is great point, even the great Meade lux Lewis succumbed to trying to play too fast in the end. It’s important to be able to hear those rolls and feel the swing.
And elegance
You said it.. straight up. And well said.....
.... they are all great ... but ... Miss Ladyva's left hand is a "force of nature" ... it is like the Union Pacific's #4014 ... the "Big Boy" ... the most powerful steam engine ever built that ran/runs on the RR tracks of the USA, to this day ... Powerful and Relentless !!!! ... AWESOME !!! ... and then there is that SMILE !!!
WE SAW LADYVA IN 2015 , ON THE JERRY LEE LEWIS ,LONDON SHOW. SHE WAS EXCELLENT !! ---- JOHN UK --
I had to smile. My mother played the Bumble Bee Boogie. She was born in Iowa in 1918 and grew up in the Roaring Twenties. I think playing boogie woogie was a small act of rebellion, a way of telling her parents that she would make her own choices.
I think this is one of the best comments I have ever received for a video. That’s why I play, teach and broadcast boogie woogie, so glad it connected with you Steve and a great story. Maybe we have some similar experience from other viewers?
Love and Respect to your beloved mum ... Australian fan !
musicians have another thing going on than us mere mortals...always in awe...thank you
ladyva---- magnificent, magical!
Thank you--my soul instantly recognized Ladyva as my twin flame! ...and she acknowledged it in her song/video "To Whom Do I Want To Lie" (remember, she's Swiss, thinking in German) ❤I don't want this to end, Vanessa! ☦
,φη 😊
The first lady that played, I thought , by golly she is as beautiful as the music she plays. I was tappin my toes and boopin my head to the beat, and she smiled and I thought damn she is good. She's extremely great at Boogie Woogie and off the charts beautiful.
And she does that AMAZING magic trick where her bracelet keeps switching from her left wrist to her right wrist and back, all while playing the piano. She should bring that trick to Penn and Teller.
Wow!! What a left hand Martha Davis!! Jaw dropping!!
I love listening to Lady Va she’s brilliant!
Just recently discovered her and have been totally amazed with her playing. All the ladies on this vid are outstanding.
an understatement amigo
I would love to see the last lady in the red shirt and black skirt play with Dr K Boogie Woogie! I've already seen the first lady play with Dr K and she is awesome! Love this music!
For me, Ladyva is number one !
For me one of the best Boogie Woogie players. Gongratulations Ladyva.
I love Lady Va, but Dona is just the heart and soul of Boogie Woogie. Her performance just bounces every time. If you see someone playing boogie woogie and they're not bouncing and smiling, they're just not in that zone.
was that the last one?
My Mum was a great pianist who had been classically taught, and she was a big fan of Winifred Atwell. Whenever Mum played the Boogie Woogie we kids had to sit in the windows to see if our grandparents were coming along the road. If we saw them we would immediately warn Mum and she would change to playing Rock of Ages . They were big church people and did not approve of such decadent music as the Boogie Woogie.
Stories like this are amazing, it’s had to think this music was once so controversial. Thanks for supporting the channel and best wishes.
Yes, at one time, you didn't play this music in public,or, certain people .. it was taboo...
Back in the day, If one don't dig de Boogie:, one is Square.
PS. Those ladies are just amazing, to say the least. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for posting. 😂👍
Not being disrespectful but your mum is someone I would love to meet. I play blues guitar but love the boogie woogie piano
Ladyva is the best l have ever seen she should be number 1
I was very familiar with Ladyva, Stephanie Trick and Dona Oxford, but I definitely need to head to the record store for some Martha Davis!
Boogie Woogie is just such happy music. Makes you want to dance
Hello,
Thanks SO much for showcasing the Ladies of Boggie Woogie.
I'm 72.
In1955, @ 5yrs old, my Gramma Eliza Langley would play me the Music she said she would play at the "Speak Easy" joints she went to when she was young.
It was this "Boogie Woogie'"Music that no one approved of then.
I've always loved it and admire the people who could play it well.
Thank you for high lighting this great music of my/our "Yout"
I literally Cry with joy when I hear it well played like this!!
cheers
Richard Langley
La Mesa, Ca
PS; Nanna Langley (RIP) would be proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For a non player of any instrument, but a lover of great music, this is magical ! 💐
You could pick up an instrument and work at learning enough to play along a little. It is a lot of fun.
@@kevinhornbuckle Oh no, I tried guitar about four or five times over thirty or forty years, Nada, no talent in these fingers. Thanks.
@@juliojames5986 Try melodica, or harmonica. I play trombone.
You sound like you've got 'A good ear'.
@@kevinhornbuckle I'm a tremendous Harmonica player.
Martha Davis 😳😳😳😳😳🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 THE BEST. AMAZINGGGGGGGG.
So clear, clean and perfectly done. Her hands were flying.
LadyVa (Vanessa): Long live to the heroes of music! Thank you very much for such valuable gifts 🙏
Une synchronisation des meilleures, avec un doigté qui fait rêver. Bravissimo
no joke the first and second players are the best hands down. they were rightly put in the list. просто акуитительно играют буги-вуги
Mercy, I was just heading for bed when I hit this video. Now wide awake and read to Party. The energy in these ladies playing is astounding to say the least. Boogie will never die
HalleluYAH! All amazing YAH given talent, no doubt there... love the performance from Martha Davis and the bassist, ohhhhh man.... but all these ladies are brilliant artists.
Winefred Atwell - Holy Moly .. off-the-charts Good Stuff! (All outstanding musicians!)
Agreed she was something else 🤠
It's enough that I ENJOY this music to the ENDS OF MY TOES!! WHAT would I, COULD I ever add!!❤❤💓 GO GALS!! 🎶🎶🎶
She is full of life and energy and that’s what we want. humor too hee hee cheeky too! 😊
Agree with your choices. These women are incredibly talented.
No.5 , got my vote for no.1, but, they all are phenomenal musicians, but, the grace and the beautiful atmosphere of the lighting, the settings, the way the keys flowed beneath her fingers, like fine silk rustling in the breeze. Did I mention that she was HOT!. It did it for me. A class A act. Simply beautiful....
amen
@@joewoodcock6786 I see you are a man of great taste...
Your hands, not to mention your astonishing skills, are amazing and joyful. Thank you. All of you.
I love all vintage music and everthing up to, but not including rap,and boogie woogie is near the top,and this is beautiful!
She is one of the top 10 in my library of misic ranging from A-Z, I can't stop listening to her, when I listen to someone else, I end up back to LADYVA!!!
Same here ! I even found a video of her playing with Boogie Woogie guru, Brenden Kavanagh on his YT channel. It was quite amazing !
Sheesh, that Dona Oxford is not only a boogie woogie master but a great showwoman! They're all great in this vid. Thanks for creating/sharing it, Boss.
Really glad you appreciated it, thanks for supporting the channel and our boogie woogie revival.
She is awesome, never new bout her till show on New Orleans La. Smoking that key board , would have luv to seen her jam with Killer
Jerry lee Lewis in his younger days
They would have knock your socks
Off lol 😝, God bless them both
Her gentle touch on keyboardist masterful
Imagine having a girlfriend that INSITS on playing the boogie! Oh my, that would be my heaven.
All I can say after picking my jaw up off the floor is this lady's playing is insane!! Thank you Ma'am!!
Yep. She does it all true to the art of BW and beyond the silly girl mellow BW.
Dean
The bass player is looking in awe of Dona Oxford . That is some outstanding playing right their and shes doing it all standing up 😊
My two favorites are Ladyva and Stephanie Trick. Two favorite guys are Dr. K and Terry Mikes!
Refuse to judge - all 5 were all great! Loved Martha Davis.
Dona.....wow what an entertainer she is!!!
All of these women are fantastic! Dona Oxford gets the vote for insane energy...
Now this is special. If children got to see this video it could inspire them to no end.
Always simply great! The Boogie Ladies are good to look at and wonderful to listen to. You forget the time and what you were about to do. Thank you very much. Thx boogie woogie.
Boogie woogie absolutely is a way to express the soul of the one expressing their "Boogie". I love it, and i WISH really hard that i will learn to play the piano(I am just playing the guitar(Electric,Acoustic, and some kind of Air guitar if i must) Haha 😄😄
They are all so great it’s so hard to have to choose one but if
I really had to I would pickLa Diva!
Wow that last girl just shredded that keyboard. She's got my vote.
They are all outstanding pianists and I love Ladyva for her all round talent, but Dona Oxford wins this hands down for her showmanship as much as her piano playing. What an awesome performance!
Dang, that chic at the end = WOW!!!!!!
Dona oxford. #1! Thanks dona from christos kourlos! I learned drums from Mr. Buddy rich! Goat!
You are piano goat!
These phenomenal women are literally blowing my mind! The talent. individuality, incredible skill, dedication and time it would have taken to play like that...
That # 5 which was the first woman. She could play my piano 🎹 any day of the week. Maybe even more. Beautiful Eyes!!!!!
Amazing!! I played the piano for many years. There's nothing easy about any of that!!! 🔥🔥
Donna & Ladyva absolutely tear it up!! Love it! 🔥🎹🎹🔥🤟❤️🎼🎵🎹🤟🤟😜😎🤟
Poetry in motion, don't stop Ma'am and the rest of you talented Ladies. God Bless you for freeing our troubled souls.
Thanks
These ladies are brilliant! ... The last lady took it very seriously! lol
Hey pretty lady I love the way you play that piano you got it going on .
Lady Va number one!👍👍
Doña Oxford is awesome! I saw her live and in person twice with Albert Lee & Hot Roux when they came to my hometown Bakersfield around 2010-11.

Dona oxford no. 1. She just blew me away! And what a beautiful performer! Hall of fame fingerwork! A++. Thankyou dona oxford my depression is lifting! My father was mr. Boogie woogue, lumbros kourlis. We called him pops lefty. You are on his level.

Wonderfull boogie woogie content, great musical ladies!
Vanessa, ......... there is no need to say more. Boogie Woogie redefined, love you girl. Hugs from Mobile, Al. Rick
Just fabulous - takes me right back to when my mum 9 sadly departed ) played this and swing , despite being classically trained , Almost 60 years ago
Oh my God your playing makes me melt Lady!
OUTSTANDING IN EVER WAY !!!
That lady on stage at the community fair is awesome ! She has the fastest fingers I've ever seen ! Great job !
My favorite , is Dona Oxford. I like her style. I'm a fan of Dona. Ladyva is a beautiful women , and plays excelent.
Boogie woogie on piano is something different. And I love it!
I really like Dr. K But Donna is flying high with Boogie ! Thank you Donna !!
The third gal, on stage BLEW MY MIND! Gawd...her talent....stunned me!
They are all great choices in their own right. Some of the older clips that lack recording dynamics still shine brightly with amazing articulation. Swing-Jam-Jazz to Virtuoso. I think I'll listen again !
How good is this stuff anyhow? Just amazing.
The bracelet bit is almost as skilled as the fingers getting the piano to sing that life can be wonderful
Not to take from any of these artists, I can't, but Dona Oxford plays it for me!
All these women are on top!
Such fun music, such talented musicians!
Fab!
Magistral 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
C'est très bien pianoter puis sa fait rêver pour MOI et j'adore car sa stimule pour le reste de ma journée.....
Many thanks for posting , great to listen to , every time I hear Boogie Woogie my mood changes for the better .
The first women is truly amazing,every time the camera shows her hands her bracelet is on the other wrist!
The reverse image is being displayed when the camera shows just her hands compared to the image showing her face and torso. You know the bracelet is the same.
I believe she’s wearing a bracelet on
both wrists.

@James Bockenstette It is not a reverse image because the low&high notes as well as the brand name of the instrument are not reversed! Also is she wearing clearly only one bracelet
@@davidconner41 She wearing clearly only one bracelet
My favorite too is Ladyva...simply superb
You are the VERY VERY ( THE BEST ) - Wilma and William Greenwood
Beautiful and musically gifted; what a combination!
LOVE Boogie Woogie and these ladies do a killer job
.
The talent level between them is impossible to measure. The difference is a thousand times less than minuscule.
That mama jamma was truly awesome! TY
Stephanie Trick is my favorite! She’s talented and classy!
In terms of performances, my top two favorites in this are indeed Martha Davis and Stephanie Trick. AFAIK Ms Davis is IMPROVISING and Stephanie is PLAYING A TRANSCRIPTION, but I’ll be damned if she doesn’t NAIL that transcription perfectly, with the right feel and everything.
Sublime merveilleux epoustouflant ............. Merci les filles!!!!!!
Barrelhouse Chuck. Knew him well. He never new any note of music. Played with the best of blues talent. Rest in peace my dear friend.
