 Boogie Woogie : 10th Anniversary Blues & Boogie Reunion in Terrassa, Spain {Day 1}


Video / Movie Clip recorded at the 10th Anniversary Blues & Boogie Reunion in Terrassa, Spain, held over 3 days in January 2014.

Day 1, Saturday 4th : Ricky Nye {USA} doing a great version of "Down the Road Apiece" with Marc Ruiz {Drums} and Manolo German {Double Bass}. This is followed by - after an introduction by Festival Organiser Lluis Coloma - Axel Zwingenburger performing some Solo Piano.




                 

Video/Movie Clip recorded at the 7th UK Boogie Woogie Festival, held in the Dorset town of Sturminster Newton, July 2011.

Movie features Ricky Nye playing one of my favourite swing Boogie pieces : "Down the Road Apiece". 

I love the way Ricky does this song and wanted a close up "high-def" Movie Clip to really appreciate his playing, so the shot is static and framed tight - slight apogies to other members of the Band who you can hear but can't see.

                             

Video/Movie Clip recorded at the 9th Essen Boogie Woogie Congress, held at the Philharmonie Concert Hall, Essen, Germany in September 2011.

Three great pianists and good friends Joerg Hegemann, Stefan Ulbricht {both from Germany} and Ricky Nye playing some fast Boogie Woogie on two Steinway Pianos on stage at the 2011 Essen Boogie Congress. 

Though generally playing some improvised pieces here for the spectatular Grand Finale, there's more than a hint of the popular 'Swanee River Booge' coming through in the closing atages of this Movie Clip.
