"The CD is 10 tracks culled from various Rounder Records artists CDs. I bought this to make my $25 minimum shipping but didn't expect much from a cheapie. When I put on the first track, I hooted out loud at how delightful the opening riffs were. The rest of the tracks were just as good. Consider getting this along with Gallerie "Portrait of Boogie Woogie Piano" for a complete and very fun collection of the form for just over the minimum shipping."
Excellent modern boogie woogie selection

"If you're looking for a more recent selection of boogie woogie selections, this is your disc. All the tracks are upbeat and jumping. It just makes you want to get up and move."

"I bought this album alongside a couple of modern Boogie Woogie CD's. Don't let the mundane look fool you. This album has got it! I had expected it to be older sounding in quality due to the look of the cover. Happily that is not the case. The sound quality is clean and full and it is mixed very well. In short, this album rocks! (Or boogie-woogies rather, but you get the idea). I have had it in slot #5 on my CD player for around six months and often let it play through after listening to another CD. With most albums, it depends on the mood I'm in. I enjoy listening to this one most anytime and usually just let it roll. If your interested in Boogie Woogie, definitely get this one. Every single piece is a winner. It's all instrumental so you will never tire of crappy lyrics. This may be the only Boogie Woogie CD you will ever want because it just doesn't get any better than this."
Love It!!!!

"Great sampler of current blues-boogie!
This is going to be stuck in my CD player for a good long while. Lots of fun and these guys are GOOD! I just started taking boogie woogie piano after several years of classical so I can hear what they are doing and am just so impressed - I can't imagine playing this well. I like fast music and while some may say its showing off - I say 'if you got it flaunt it'!
The difficult thing with boogie is the timing - getting the right hand and left hand coordinated when they are hitting different timings and rhythms. I should say its difficult for me but these guys get it right - sooo right!
Clean recording and not a single track which I skip."
