    Matthew Ball, who goes by the stage name of The Boogie Woogie Kid, is one of my favorites outside of Baroque music. Boogie Woogie is not as musically complex as New Orleans Jazz but the way the melody dances around the bass line always intrigues me. If this does not make you tap your toes, you're probably not breathing.

    Albert Ammons Boogie Woogie Blues.

    Pinetop's Boogie Woogie.

    The sound is not as good on this one, but it starts with a minute or so of interesting commentary, and has some nice shots of his finger work:



    And now one just for Spiderman:

    A Closer Walk With Thee Boogie.

    I don't know why most of those didn't embed. No matter. The links will open up a window into YouTube. Oh, and the last one should be "A Closer Walk With Thee Blues."
